FOUR THOUSAND WEEKS - OLIVER BURKEMAN KARTONIER...

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *Includes an interview with James Hollis* Provocative and
appealing . . . Well worth your extremely limited time. -Barbara Spindel  The Wall Street
Journal There's a good reason why everyone has been talking about Oliver Burkeman's New York
Times bestseller  Four Thousand Weeks. Nobody needs to be told there isn't enough time. Whether
we're starting our own business  or trying to write a novel during our lunch break  or staring
down a pile of deadlines as we're planning a vacation  we're obsessed with our lengthening
to-do lists  overfilled inboxes  work-life balance  and ceaseless struggle against distraction.
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 yet 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  the
average length of a human life. 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 obsession with getting everything done  Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to
tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude  showing that 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 can do things differently.
