Listen Later

In this episode, I speak to Oliver Burkeman the author of the new book Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. Oliver is a great writer, and this book is no exception. 

 In the conversation, Oliver and I discuss:

  • What makes Four Thousand Weeks different from other books on time management
  • The productivity trap
  • Why it’s difficult to find time for the meaningful tasks in our life
  • The importance of patience
  • Why accepting our mortality leads us to make wise decisions
  • Living in uncertainty and much more
