A review by plethora
Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman

reflective slow-paced

4.0

Provided a lot of historical, philosophical context for how we've gotten to where we are as a culture concerning productivity, output, and how to use our time. Many sources of those who've thought these things before. Not so much a handbook as it is an anthology of the human experience on time, life, and the decisions we do - and do not- make within them.

Graphic: Death

Wait until you're in a good head-space for this book. Its existential tangents can be jarring if you yourself have had difficulty addressing death, meaning, and your place within the universe. While the author pragmatically broaches these subjects with flecks of levity, not everyone may be ready to address these concepts upon reading.
