Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

You Have About 4,000 Weeks. What Will You Do With Them?

The average human lifespan is absurdly, terrifyingly, insultingly short. If you live to 80, you'll have had roughly four thousand weeks. That's it. And yet most time management books treat this as a problem to be solved with better systems, smarter habits, and more efficient routines.

Oliver Burkeman disagrees. And in this New York Times bestseller, he makes a radical, liberating argument: the real problem isn't that you don't manage your time well enough. It's that you're trying to do the impossible — to master time itself.

"Provocative and appealing… Well worth your extremely limited time." — The Wall Street Journal
