Review from Book Depository:
What if you stopped trying to do everything, so that you could finally get round to what counts?
We're obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, the struggle against distraction, and the sense that our attention spans are shrivelling. 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.
(All links earn commission from purchases. Prices accurate at time of writing) An extremely accessible and engaging life hack book. The author does a great job at mixing the wisdom bombs with a balanced helping of self-deprecation and genuine insight. A gateway drug to Stoicism that I wish I had read in my twenties.
(All links earn commission from purchases. Prices accurate at time of writing) A superb guiding light book on how to systematically recognise & retrain your outlook on the world in order to build a better life for yourself & those around you. This book is like a mirror to hold up to yourself & identify malfunctioning thought processes while also providing the guidance to fix them. Essential reading.
(All links earn commission from purchases. Prices accurate at time of writing) I really enjoyed reading this book, it makes meditation so relatable and a no-brainer (pun intended!). Dermot offers a common-sense and humour laden approach to getting started with meditation by sharing how & why meditation changed his life path.

In August 2018 a fifteen-year-old Swedish girl, Greta Thunberg, decided not to go to school one day. Her actions ended up sparking a global movement for action against the climate crisis, inspiring millions of pupils to go on strike for our planet, forcing governments to listen, and earning her a Nobel Peace Prize nomination.

Four Thousand Weeks: Embrace your limits. Change your life.
Four Thousand Weeks is an uplifting, engrossing and deeply realistic exploration of the challenge. Rejecting the futile modern obsession with 'getting everything done,' it introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing rather than denying their limitations. And it shows how 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. Its many revelations will transform the reader's worldview.
Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman sets out to realign our relationship with time - and in doing so, to liberate us from its tyranny.
Embrace your limits. Change your life. Make your four thousand weeks count.
