À propos de cet audio

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“This is the most important book ever written about time management.”
—Adam Grant, #1
New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of WorkLife

What if you stopped trying to do everything, so that you could finally get around to what counts?

Nobody needs to be told there isn’t enough time. Whether we’re starting our own business, or trying to write a novel during our lunch break, or staring down a pile of deadlines as we’re planning a vacation, we’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and ceaseless struggle against distraction. We’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient and life hacks to optimize our days. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the question of how best to use our ridiculously brief time on the planet, which amounts on average to about four thousand weeks.

Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern obsession with “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing that many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a society—and that we can do things differently.

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

Ce que les critiques en disent

2021, Axiom Business Book Award - Personal Finance / Retirement Planning / Investing, Short-listed

“Burkeman’s work could sit comfortably on a shelf next to the books published by Alain de Botton’s School of Life, literary-flavored advice on love, friendship, work and other conundrums. . . . “Four Thousand Weeks” is [also] just good company; it addresses large, even existential, issues with a sense of humor and an even-keeled perspective. I found that reading it — Burkeman might balk at this particular way of describing it — was a good use of my time.” (The New York Times)

“We all know our time is limited. What we don’t know—but what Oliver Burkeman is here to teach us—is that our control over that time is also limited. This profound (and often hilarious) book will prompt you to rethink your worship of efficiency, reject the cult of busyness, and reconfigure your life around what truly matters.” (Daniel H. Pink, author of When, Drive, and To Sell is Human)

What we forgot

In our goal to “do”, to be doers and achievers and organizers and planners, we have forgotten how to live. And we sense this is the case. Life can feel like an endless grind with no meaning. The solutions are clear and in front of our noses, if we are ready to be honest with ourselves.

Oliver Burkeman has delivered an important piece of work here. Completely accessible to any reader, yet deeply profound. Philosophical yet immediately practical.

I’m going to re-read immediately.

I ordered multiple copies for friends and family

This is not a book about "life hacks", like achieving inbox zero. Instead, Burkeman argues persuasively that our thinking about productivity and efficiency is a trap: the real problem isn’t our limited time, but rather our troublesome ideas about HOW to use time. I loved this audiobook so much that I immediately ordered two print versions to lend to friends and family and I’ve already purchased more audiobook copies as gifts. I’m listening to it for the third time…

Favourite quote: “Nobody in the history of humanity has ever achieved work life balance, whatever that might be, and you certainly won’t get there by copying the “six things successful people do before 7:00 a.m.” The day will never arrive when you finally have everything under control—when the flood of emails has been contained; when your to-do lists have stopped getting longer; when you’re meeting all your obligations at work and in your home life; when nobody’s angry with you for missing a deadline or dropping the ball; and when the fully optimized person you’ve become can turn, at long last, to the things life is really supposed to be about.”

A good storyteller piece on time

I enjoyed how Oliver Burkeman shared a convergent views through various perspectives on the nature and the purpose of time. The balance between storytelling, philosophy and practical tips is good.

about the follies of typical time management

this is a really good book in that it explains the problem with most systems of time management and people's conception of the topic. the problem being that we do not have enough time to do everything and until we accept this we will be filled with anxiety about what we are doing and what we are not. presents some challenging ideas and offers ways to evaluate what we should spend our limited time on. definitely worth a read! especially for those that are interested in more philosophical arguments

excellent

This was written in a brief and to the point manner. It gave enough examples or story to bring understanding without wasting a bunch of time. I re-listened to the end "10 tools" and took notes that are proving extremely useful in deciding how to use my time the way I want. Excellent reading by author.

Phenomenal book - very helpful and unique ideas

The author explains his ideas in a very straightforward way and he provides novel insights which have helped me prioritize my life and curb my workaholism. He also does a great job narrating the book (British accent). Already half way through my second-listen of the audiobook. A must have.

Refreshing

I love how this book was written with current issues in mind. gave lots of practical tips and tricks to increasing your ability to enjoy the moment. not necessarily the book that will coach you to get more things crammed in to your day. this is a great read for a chronic over doer overly busy type person.

Outstanding, thought provoking

I listened to this book twice because it was so good that I needed to go back to it again. I added countless bookmarks. There are so many interesting concepts and things that make you ponder your viewpoints. There are also some useful time management strategies too at the end but this isn’t a time management book…it’s a book about living.
