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.
