“Rehab for burned-out high achievers.”—The Guardian
How would life open up if we stopped treating it as a problem to be solved?
Addressing the fundamental questions about how to live, Meditations for Mortals offers a powerful new way to take action on what counts: a guiding philosophy of life Oliver Burkeman calls “imperfectionism.” It helps us tackle challenges as they crop up in our daily lives: our finite time, the lure of distraction, the impossibility of doing anything perfectly.
How can we embrace our nonnegotiable limitations? Or make good decisions when there’s always too much to do? How do we shed the illusion that life will really begin as soon as we can “get on top of everything”? Reflecting on quotations drawn from philosophy, religion, literature, psychology, and self-help, Burkeman explores a combination of practical tools and daily shifts in perspective. The result is a life-enhancing and surprising challenge to much familiar advice―and a profound yet entertaining crash course in living more fully.
A map for a liberating journey toward a more meaningful life―a journey that begins where we actually find ourselves, not with a fantasy of where we’d like to be―from the New York Times bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks

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.

Even our negative thoughts can trigger our body’s stress response so we rarely experience periods of ease and deep restoration. In The Stress Prescription, Dr. Epel distills decades of research, infused with wisdom, into a practical yet transformative seven-day plan of science-based techniques that can help you harness stress through more positive challenge and purpose.

Histoire
We live in an epidemic of anxiety. Most of us assume that the key to overcoming it is to think our way out. And for a while it works. But there is always something that sends us back into the anxious spiral we’ve been trying to climb out of. In Beyond Anxiety, Dr. Martha Beck explains why anxiety is skyrocketing around you, and likely within you. She also tells you how to not only reduce your anxiety but use it to propel you into a life filled with peace, meaning, and joy.

Histoire
What does it really mean to be a grown-up in today's world? We assume that once we "get it together" with the right job, marry the right person, have children, and buy a home, all is settled and well. But adulthood presents varying levels of growth and is rarely the respite of stability we expected. Turbulent emotional shifts can take place anywhere between the ages of 35 and 70 when we question the choices we've made, realize our limitations, and feel stuck - commonly known as the "midlife crisis".

Come inside a jury room as one juror leads a starkly divided room to consensus. Join a young CIA officer as he recruits a reluctant foreign agent. And sit with an accomplished surgeon as he tries, and fails, to convince yet another cancer patient to opt for the less risky course of treatment. In Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg blends deep research and his trademark storytelling skills to show how we can all learn to identify and leverage the hidden layers that lurk beneath every conversation.

Awe is mysterious. How do we begin to quantify the goose bumps we feel when we see the Grand Canyon, or the utter amazement when we watch a child walk for the first time? How do you put into words the collective effervescence of standing in a crowd and singing in unison, or the wonder you feel while gazing at centuries-old works of art? In Awe, Dacher Keltner presents a radical investigation and deeply personal inquiry into this elusive emotion.

Life isn’t about “finding” fulfillment and success - it’s about creating it. Why then has creativity been given a back seat in our culture? No longer. Creativity is a force inside every person that, when unleashed, transforms our lives and delivers vitality to everything we do. Establishing a creative practice is therefore our most valuable and urgent task - as important to our well-being as exercise or nutrition. The good news? Renowned artist, author, and CreativeLive founder, Chase Jarvis, reminds us that creativity isn't a skill - it's a habit available to everyone.

On point, masterfully honest, generous and kind
Oliver is one of my favourite thinkers in the world. I think his uniqueness comes from addressing head on subtle and implicit facts and feels of life, instead of giving guides, recipes, models. After reading a Burkeman book, I always feel more capable, more understood, less serious about it all - like his prose reads like light and empathetic spiritual winks of the human experience. Many thanks Oliver for this work, and all your work. Very eager to read and listen to all your future books.

Eminently sane & very needed for our times
I listened to this in the early days of the new year, at the suggested pace of a chapter a day, as an experiment. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised time and time again at the author's wonderfully warm capacity for both acknowledging our human foibles and for pointing out true things--like the futility of trying to do *everything* and the self-defeating patterns that excessive perfectionism instills. Much of the lessons are things we already know, in theory, yet constantly ignore. Burkeman's writing articulates them in a way that seeps into the mind and has a tendency to percolate over days and weeks. He reminds us over and over that making a "fresh start" isn't the point, but rather it is doing something that matters today, in the present moment, however small. As a person who generally cringes at the very idea of self-help books, I found this both helpful and witty. A pleasure!

Simply brilliant
I thought Oliver Burkemans 4000 weeks was a wonderful booj and one that I was talking to friends and family about for weeks, if not months, after reading it. I was excited when I knew this one was coming out... I just finished listening to it today and I'm even more blown away than the first book! Maybe it's just that I'm listening to it at the perfect time in my life, combined perhaps with the fact that he is a very good writer and a lot of the messages throughout the book are life-changing. Please read it or even better listen to it.
