Description
In Four Thousand Weeks, Oliver Burkeman invites readers to confront the reality of time, exploring the brevity of human existence through a lens both philosophical and practical. With the average human lifespan clocking in at around four thousand weeks, Burkeman challenges us to reconsider our relationship with time and the relentless pursuit of productivity that often dominates our lives.
The Story
Burkeman weaves personal anecdotes and cultural critiques into a narrative that urges us to embrace our limitations. He delves into the art of prioritising what truly matters, advocating for a life rich in meaning rather than one burdened by endless to-do lists. His exploration spans various themes, from the fleeting nature of time to the importance of mindfulness, urging readers to savour each moment.

Perfect For
