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.

The Antidote is a series of journeys among people who share a single, surprising way of thinking about life. What they have in common is a hunch about human psychology: that it’s our constant effort to eliminate the negative that causes us to feel so anxious, insecure, and unhappy. And that there is an alternative "negative path" to happiness and success that involves embracing the things we spend our lives trying to avoid.

Today’s workers have more opportunities and mobility than any generation before. They also face unprecedented challenges, including inflation, labor and housing shortages, and climate volatility. Even the notion of retirement is undergoing a profound rethink, as our lifespans extend and our relationship with work evolves. In this environment, the tried-and-true financial advice our parents followed is no longer enough. It’s time for a new playbook. In The Algebra of Wealth, Galloway lays bare the rules of financial success in today's economy.

There is a competitive advantage out there, arguably more powerful than any other. Is it superior strategy? Faster innovation? Smarter employees? No, New York Times best-selling author, Patrick Lencioni, argues that the seminal difference between successful companies and mediocre ones has little to do with what they know and how smart they are and more to do with how healthy they are.

Our current definition of “productivity” is broken. It pushes us to treat busyness as a proxy for useful effort, leading to impossibly lengthy task lists and ceaseless meetings. We’re overwhelmed by all we have to do and on the edge of burnout, left to decide between giving into soul-sapping hustle culture or rejecting ambition altogether. But are these really our only choices?

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)

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.

Do the Next Right Thing
The essence of the book is to do the next right thing.
Do as little tasks a day, focusing on what matters to you most.
You will always be off when planning something with too much details and anticipation, so it’s much better to start small, plan with less expectations, treat everything as a learning/testing opportunity, be a mad scientist that doesn’t care much about results but is more focused on the journey and running more tests, you will be able to learn more and be happier along the way.

This book is way more than a book on time management.
This book is now in my top 10 of all time, and I have thousands of books on my bookshelf. I was so surprised by this book. I had heard a number of people recommend it but kind of casually, and not merely with the gravitas that this book deserves. I can’t recommend this enough.
