Four Thousand Weeks

Embrace your limits and change your life with the smash-hit Sunday Times bestseller
**The instant Sunday Times bestseller**
**As heard on Virgin Radio's Chris Evans Breakfast Show and Dr Chatterjee's #1 podcast Feel Better, Live More **
Battling an overfilled inbox?
Your ever-lengthening to-do lists?
Struggling against distraction?
What if you tried to stop doing everything, so you could finally get round to what counts?
If you live to 80, you'll have barely more than four thousand weeks on earth. How will you decide how to spend them?
Rejecting the futile modern obsession with 'getting everything done,' Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing rather than denying their limitations.
Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman sets out to realign our relationship with time - and in doing so, to liberate us from its tyranny.
Embrace your limits. Change your life. Make your four thousand weeks count.
**A FINANCIAL TIMES, GUARDIAN AND OBSERVER BOOK OF THE YEAR**

This book is wonderful. Instead of offering new tips on how to cram more into your day, it questions why we feel the need to ... My favourite kind of book is this one ... it examines the human struggle with intelligence, wisdom, humour and humility.
Marianne Power, The Times

Perfectly pitched somewhere between practical self-help book and philosophical quest ... as with all the best quests, its many pleasures don't require a fast-forward button, but happen along the way

Life is finite. You don't have to fit everything in. Enjoy your life. Breathe out. Read this book and wake up to a new way of thinking and living

A wonderfully honest book, Four Thousand Weeks is a much-needed reality check on our culture's crazy assumptions around work, productivity and living a meaningful life
Mark Manson, bestselling author of Everything is F*cked and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

His book will challenge and amuse you. And it may even spur you on to change your life. At the very least reading it would be a good use of one of your four thousand weeks
Robbie Smith, Evening Standard
