Four Thousand Weeks author, Oliver Burkeman, talks about what’s wrong with traditional time management strategies, how being a productivity geek had a counterproductive result in his life, why knowing you have 4,000 weeks to live can bring hope and peace, why most of us won’t make a dent in the universe (and that’s okay) and how philosophy (and theology) can give you a better approach to time.
