Oliver Burkeman is well known for his best-selling book 4000 Weeks, a book that I have shared with many and I know (because they have been excited to tell me) it has shifted their thinking, changed their relationship with time or their inbox or given them a new perspective on decisions they’ve been pondering or indeed agonising over.  4000 Weeks encourages us to embrace our limits and let go of perfectionism. 

In this episode Oliver and I touch on 4000 Weeks (it’s impossible not to) alongside his upcoming book Meditations for Mortals (out on 12 September and available for pre-order). Meditations for Mortals is designed as a ‘retreat for the mind’, 28 short chapters that Oliver encourages you to read daily, finding and practising the inner shifts in new or different ways.
