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

- Choosing to Choose
- What we do with our time is a choice
- The Importance Trap
