Four Thousand Weeks

Embrace your limits. Change your life. Make your four thousand weeks count.

A life-changing gift of a book: What if you tried to stop doing everything, so you could finally get round to what counts?

**The instant Sunday Times bestseller**

Rejecting the futile modern obsession with 'getting everything done,' Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing rather than denying their limitations.

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. Discover how to make your four thousand weeks count in 2026.
