Oliver Burkeman Four Thousand Weeks

44 Min, 34 Sec · By Heather Hansen

Heather interviews Oliver Burkeman about his book Four Thousand Weeks, how he came up with his topics and his reasons behind writing it.

I had a great interview with Oliver Burkeman, which is the author who wrote my favorite book of 2021.  He is also the author of Help: How to Become Slightly Happier and Get A Bit More Done, The Antidote: Happiness For People Who Can’t Stand Positive Thinking., and of course my favorite book for 2021 Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management For Mortals.

Today, we will take a deep dive into his Four Thousand Weeks book and discuss how he came up with his topics and his reasons behind writing this book. This book is a must read and it really puts perspective on our lives and how we use our time.

We’ll Discuss

  • A perspective shift
  • I will look for the wonder when I’m done
  • Choosing to Choose
  • What we do with our time is a choice
  • The Importance Trap
  • Procrastination
  • And much more
