Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman
⏳ A New York Times bestseller that flips productivity culture on its head with wisdom, wit, and a radically refreshing perspective on time management.

We only get about four thousand weeks on this planet—and most of us spend them frantically trying to do more, faster. In Four Thousand Weeks, journalist and philosopher Oliver Burkeman offers a liberating alternative to the grind of endless to-do lists and time hacks. This isn't just another productivity book—it's a life-changing reframe of how we spend our precious time.

Blending insights from philosophy, psychology, and spiritual traditions, Burkeman argues that accepting our limits—not denying them—is the key to a more meaningful, joyful life. Thought-provoking and deeply human, this book invites readers to stop optimizing every minute and start living them.
