À propos de cet audio

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)

This book is now in my top 10 of all time, and I have thousands of books on my bookshelf. I was so surprised by this book. I had heard a number of people recommend it but kind of casually, and not merely with the gravitas that this book deserves. I can’t recommend this enough.

This book is way more than a book on time management.

A thought provoking and worthwhile read about time, life, and happiness :) and the narrator/ author did a good job!

A worthwhile listen

He sounded profound in some parts but could have benefited from putting a call to action right after rather than interjection his own political opinions. Felt a bit drawn out three quarters in. The appendix part is where all the meat is but should’ve been laid out in the middle of the read. Not bad. Would read again but skip a few parts.

Could have a better call to action ratio and be less political

Your time is finite!! You can't possibly read every productivity book ever written - so read this one.
