Oliver Burkeman | Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

In Search of Wisdom

In this episode, I speak to Oliver Burkeman the author of the new book Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. Oliver is a great writer, and this book is no exception.

In the conversation, Oliver and I discuss:

• What makes Four Thousand Weeks different from other books on time management
• The productivity trap
• Why it’s difficult to find time for the meaningful tasks in our life
• The importance of patience
• Why accepting our mortality leads us to make wise decisions
• Living in uncertainty and much more
