Four Thousand Weeks

By Oliver Burkeman

Business & Money

What if the real problem with time isn’t how to manage it, but how to accept that we’ll never have enough of it? In *Four Thousand Weeks*, Oliver Burkeman challenges our endless pursuit of productivity, efficiency, and getting everything done. Drawing on philosophy, psychology, and spiritual thought, he explores why our attempts to control time often leave us feeling even more rushed and overwhelmed. Instead, the book invites us to embrace life’s limits, make deliberate choices about what truly matters, and build a meaningful life within the surprisingly short time we have.
