#DigiShift - Oliver Burkeman's 4,000 Weeks
This month we are joined by a very special guest - Oliver Burkeman is the author of The Antidote: Happiness for People who Can’t Stand Positive Thinking and Help! How to Become Slightly Happier and Get a Bit More Done, and wrote a long-running column for the Guardian, This Column Will Change Your Life.
We live in an age of impossible demands, infinite choice, relentless distraction and spiralling global crises. Yet most productivity advice, like other modern messages about time, makes things worse. It encourages the fantasy that we might one day “get everything done”, becoming the fully optimized, emotionally invincible masters of our time. The pursuit of this limit-denying delusion systematically leaves us more busy, distracted, and isolated from each other – while postponing the truly important parts of life to some point in the future that never quite seems to arrive. Four Thousand Weeks is an entertaining and philosophical but ultimately deeply practical guide to the alternative path of embracing your limits: dropping back down into reality, defying cultural pressures to attempt the impossible, and getting started on what’s gloriously possible instead.
Oliver Burkeman's latest book, Four Thousand Weeks, is published by Penguin: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/111/1111522/four-thousand-weeks/9781847924018.html
