Uplifting Book of the month, February 2025

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.

We rarely connect 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, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and profound guide to time and time management. 

An inspiring read, send a copy to your team, your peers (and if you haven’t read it yet, to yourself!) along with our Kind Hearted chocolate set to enjoy while you read.

Review of Four Thousand Weeks

"Four Thousand Weeks is the amount of time each of us has based on average life expectancy – which kind of alarmed me when I first thought about it…. But this brilliant book is actually soothing – because it helps you think about a meaningful life that you want, not always feeling that you have to do everything or are limited by time”
