Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“This is the most important book ever written about time management.” 
—Adam Grant, #1
New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of WorkLife

What if you stopped trying to do everything, so that you could finally get around to what counts?

Nobody needs to be told there isn’t enough time. Whether we’re starting our own business, or trying to write a novel during our lunch break, or staring down a pile of deadlines as we’re planning a vacation, we’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and ceaseless struggle against distraction. We’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient and life hacks to optimize our days. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the question of how best to use our ridiculously brief time on the planet, which amounts on average to about four thousand weeks.

Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern obsession with “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing that many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a society—and that we can do things differently.

Embrace your limits. Change your life. Make your four thousand weeks count.

Ce que les critiques en disent

2021, Axiom Business Book Award - Personal Finance / Retirement Planning / Investing, Short-listed

“Burkeman’s work could sit comfortably on a shelf next to the books published by Alain de Botton’s School of Life, literary-flavored advice on love, friendship, work and other conundrums. . . . “Four Thousand Weeks” is [also] just good company; it addresses large, even existential, issues with a sense of humor and an even-keeled perspective. I found that reading it — Burkeman might balk at this particular way of describing it — was a good use of my time.” (The New York Times)

“We all know our time is limited. What we don’t know—but what Oliver Burkeman is here to teach us—is that our control over that time is also limited. This profound (and often hilarious) book will prompt you to rethink your worship of efficiency, reject the cult of busyness, and reconfigure your life around what truly matters.” (Daniel H. Pink, author of When, Drive, and To Sell is Human)

about the follies of typical time management

this is a really good book in that it explains the problem with most systems of time management and people's conception of the topic. the problem being that we do not have enough time to do everything and until we accept this we will be filled with anxiety about what we are doing and what we are not. presents some challenging ideas and offers ways to evaluate what we should spend our limited time on. definitely worth a read! especially for those that are interested in more philosophical arguments

excellent

This was written in a brief and to the point manner. It gave enough examples or story to bring understanding without wasting a bunch of time. I re-listened to the end "10 tools" and took notes that are proving extremely useful in deciding how to use my time the way I want. Excellent reading by author.

J.O.M.O.

Such a useful book about choices we make dealing with time. I've always found joy mixed with a little bit of guilt when I miss out on some events; after listening to this book, I don't think that I'll feel that guilt again.

maddening relief

Not what I expected. Yet I appreciated this different and sobering approach to time management.

Changed my mindset about working so hard

It’s one of the audiobooks that changes your thinking and view on life. Made me think of things I’ve never thought of before, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who’s open to seeing the world in a different light or for the ones who work too hard. (You know who you are.)

Fantastic

This was one of the best books I’ve read or listened to in years. Fascinating and insightful from beginning to end. It also doesn’t hurt that the narration by the author is superb.

Do the Next Right Thing

The essence of the book is to do the next right thing.
Do as little tasks a day, focusing on what matters to you most.
You will always be off when planning something with too much details and anticipation, so it’s much better to start small, plan with less expectations, treat everything as a learning/testing opportunity, be a mad scientist that doesn’t care much about results but is more focused on the journey and running more tests, you will be able to learn more and be happier along the way.

Not your typical time management book.

Well read, easy chapters. Reads more like philosophy than self help. Humorous, insightful and engaging. Definitely a recommended read for anyone feeling overburdened by the stress of a never ending to do list.
