📘 Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman

Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks examines the reality that an average life spans roughly four thousand weeks, prompting us to ask how we should use them. Drawing on ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, the book critiques the modern fixation on endless to‑do lists and distractions. It offers practical techniques for realigning our priorities, choosing meaningful commitments, and freeing ourselves from the illusion that time management is a finite resource. Burkeman argues that our approach to time is a set of choices—not immutable truths—and his insights aim to transform readers’ worldview, encouraging a more intentional and fulfilling life.
