A review by patlo
Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective medium-paced

5.0

By page 5 I had decided that I needed to return my library copy and buy both the audiobook and a print copy of this, and was recommending it to friends. The title may mislead you; it's really the anti-Productivity(tm) book; it's about limits and mortality and recognizing that you're actually human. Bonus points for reading this book while family members are going through potentially life-or-death medical issues. 

After I read this, I went back and put tabs on pages I'd highlighted or written notes on or wanted to remember, and the book now looks like a peacock in full bloom. There's good stuff everywhere in here.

If simplicity, difficulty-practicing-mindfulness, Zen and Jung are your bag, you'll extra-love this.
