The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over 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.

Free gift bag & card with every order

Rejecting the futile modern fixation on “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how 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 could do things differently.

This book will challenge and amuse you. And it may even spur you on to change your life.
