FOUR THOUSAND WEEKS - OLIVER BURKEMAN GEBUNDEN

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Provocative and appealing . . . well worth your extremely
limited time. -Barbara Spindel  The Wall Street Journal The average human lifespan is absurdly
insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty  you have just over four thousand weeks.
Nobody needs telling there isn't enough time. We're obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists 
our overfilled inboxes  work-life balance  and the ceaseless battle against distraction  and
we're deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient  and life hacks to optimize
our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry
grows more intense  and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the
horizon. Still  we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the
ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks.
Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers  psychologists  and
spiritual teachers  Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining  humorous  practical  and
ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on
getting everything done  Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a
meaningful life by embracing finitude  showing how many of the unhelpful ways we've come to
think about time aren't inescapable  unchanging truths  but choices we've made as individuals
and as a society-and that we could do things differently.
