#140: Four Thousand Weeks (ft. Oliver Burkeman)
Manage episode 365409168 series 2661646
"Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks..."
We chat with author and journalist Oliver Burkeman about his latest book 'Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals'. We discuss the idea of time as a resource, the trap of efficiency, the fear of death and our willingness to be distracted.
We also touch on JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out), the path through the negative, cultivating an attitude for problems and the subversive role of hobbies!
