    Hvad ville der ske, hvis du holdt op med at prøve at nå det hele, så det endelig kunne lykkes dig at nå de ting, der virkelig betyder noget?Det moderne menneske er som besat af vores uendelige to do-lister og overfyldte indbakker, og vi kæmper en evindelig kamp mod distraktionerne og vores svindende koncentrations- evne. Alligevel formår vi sjældent at se sammenhængen mellem de daglige kampe mod tiden og det ultimative time management-problem: spørgsmålet om, hvordan vi bedst muligt skal spendere vores absurd korte tid på planeten – en tid, som i gennemsnit beløber sig til omkring fire tusind uger. Fire tusind uger er en opløft ende, fængslende og dybt realistisk udforskning af netop denne problemstilling. Den afviser vores nyttesløse besættelse af at nå det hele og introducerer os i stedet til red- skaber, der kan bruges til at konstruere et meningsfuldt liv ved at omfavne snarere end benægte dets begrænsninger. Den viser os, at den måde, vi forholder os til tiden på, ikke er uundgåelig og uforanderlig, men resultatet af et valg vi har truffet, både som individer og som samfund. Og at alle disse åbenbaringer kan forandre vores verdenssyn. Med afsæt i lærdom fra gamle og nye filosoffer, psykologer og åndelige vejledere sætter Oliver Burkeman sig med Fire tusind uger for at omstrukturere vores forhold til tid – og for at frigøre os fra dens tyranni.

    AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"e;Provocative and appealing . . . well worth your extremely limited time."e; -Barbara Spindel, The Wall Street JournalThe average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks.Nobody needs telling there isn't enough time. We're obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we're deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and "e;life hacks"e; to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our 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 fixation on "e;getting everything done,"e; Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how 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 could do things differently.

    AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"Provocative and appealing . . . Well worth your extremely limited time." -Barbara Spindel, The Wall Street JournalThere's a good reason why everyone has been talking about Oliver Burkeman's New York Times bestseller, Four Thousand Weeks. 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. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and yet the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks, the average length of a human life.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.

    'Full of wisdom and comfort ... a really important book' CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN, author of Ultra-Processed PeopleHow can we embrace our non-negotiable limitations? Or make good decisions when there's always too much to do? What if purposeful productivity were often about letting things happen, not making them happen?Reflecting on ideas drawn from philosophy, religion, literature, psychology, and self-help, Burkeman explores practical tools and shifts in perspective. The result is a bracing challenge to much familiar advice, and a profound yet entertaining crash course in living more fully.Meditations for Mortals takes us on a liberating journey towards a more meaningful life - one that begins not with fantasies of the ideal existence, but with the reality in which we actually find ourselves.Addressing the fundamental questions about how to live, it offers a powerful new way to take action on what counts: a guiding philosophy of life Oliver Burkeman calls 'imperfectionism'.To be read either as a four-week 'retreat of the mind' or devoured in one or two sittings, Meditations for Mortals will be a source of solace and inspiration, and an aid to a saner, freer, and more enchantment-filled life in 2025.In anxiety-inducing times, it is rich in truths we have never needed more.'Thoughtful, level-headed, and useful ... a book to meditate upon' THE TIMES'Oliver Burkeman has a way of giving you the most unexpected productivity advice exactly when you need it' MARK MANSON, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck** A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2024 **

    From the author of the New York Times-bestselling Four Thousand Weeks, a totally original approach to self-help: success through failure, calm through embracing anxiety.Self-help books don't seem to work. Few of the many advantages of modern life seem capable of lifting our collective mood. Wealth-even if you can get it-doesn't necessarily lead to happiness. Romance, family life, and work often bring as much stress as joy. We can't even agree on what "happiness" means. So are we engaged in a futile pursuit? Or are we just going about it the wrong way? Looking both east and west, in bulletins from the past and from far afield, Oliver Burkeman introduces us to an unusual group of people who share a single, surprising way of thinking about life. Whether experimental psychologists, terrorism experts, Buddhists, hardheaded business consultants, Greek philosophers, or modern-day gurus, they argue that in our personal lives, and in society at large, it's our constant effort to be happy that is making us miserable. And that there is an alternative path to happiness and success that involves embracing failure, pessimism, insecurity, and uncertainty-the very things we spend our lives trying to avoid. Thought-provoking, counterintuitive, and ultimately uplifting, The Antidote is the intelligent person's guide to understanding the much-misunderstood idea of happiness.
