Buy now to get the main key ideas from Oliver Burkeman's Four Thousand Weeks

Four Thousand Weeks (2021) is a self-help book about using our time effectively, but not in the conventional sense. British journalist and author Oliver Burkeman argues that time management as we know it has failed horribly and we need to stop pretending otherwise.

The average human life expectancy is outrageously short. If you live to be eighty, you’ll have lived for about four thousand weeks. Thus, it's no surprise that ancient Greek philosophers considered the brevity of human life to be the defining problem of our existence. Unfortunately, the modern discipline of time management seems to focus solely on productivity. While productivity matters to some extent, we must remember that the world is full of wonder and we should make time to experience more of that wonder.
