Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals Hardcover

Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman is a thought-provoking book that redefines our approach to time. The title refers to the rough average of 4,000 weeks most people have in a lifetime, a finite amount that Burkeman uses to challenge conventional productivity and time management strategies. Rather than promoting a hyper-efficient life, he encourages readers to embrace their limitations, focus on what truly matters, and prioritize joy and meaning over productivity.

Burkeman’s message is part philosophical exploration and part practical guide, urging readers to let go of the pressure to “do it all” and instead focus on the few things that bring genuine satisfaction and purpose.
