What if you stopped trying to do everything?
We're obsessed by our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, the struggle against distraction, and the sense that our attention spans are shrivelling. Yet we rarely make the conscious connection that these problems only trouble us in the first place thanks to the ultimate time-management problem - the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks.
The average human lifespan is absurdly, outrageously, insultingly brief- if you live to 80, you have about four thousand weeks on earth. How should we use them best?
Four Thousand Weeks is an uplifting, engrossing and deeply realistic exploration of how to face our finitude by embracing rather than denying our limitations - and in doing so unlock a more meaningful life.
