Resumen del Editor
Brought to you by Penguin.
The instant Sunday Times best seller.
A Financial Times, Guardian and Observer Book of the Year.
One of the Daily Telegraph's 75 Best Books of 2021.
What if you stopped trying to do everything, so that you could finally get round to what counts?
We're obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, the struggle against distraction and the sense that our attention spans are shrivelling. 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 4,000 weeks.
Four Thousand Weeks is an uplifting, engrossing and deeply realistic exploration of the challenge. Rejecting the futile modern obsession with 'getting everything done,' it introduces listeners to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing rather than denying their limitations.
Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman sets out to realign our relationship with time - and in doing so, to liberate us from its tyranny.
Embrace your limits. Change your life. Make your 4,000 weeks count.

Historia
In a rarified world of scientific research, a revolution has been brewing. Its activists are not anarchists, but rather Nobel Laureates in physics and economics and pony-tailed graduates, mathematicians, and computer scientists from all over the world. They have formed an iconoclastic think-tank and their radical idea is to create a new science: complexity. They want to know how a primordial soup of simple molecules managed to turn itself into the first living cell--and what the origin of life some four billion years ago can tell us about the process of technological innovation today.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Historia
Game theory means rigorous strategic thinking. It’s the art of anticipating your opponent’s next moves, knowing full well that your rival is trying to do the same thing to you. Though parts of game theory involve simple common sense, much is counterintuitive, and it can only be mastered by developing a new way of seeing the world. Using a diverse array of rich case studies - from pop culture, TV, movies, sports, politics, and history - the authors show how nearly every business and personal interaction has a game-theory component to it.

From batting averages and political polls to game shows and medical research, the real-world application of statistics continues to grow by leaps and bounds. How can we catch schools that cheat on standardized tests? How does Netflix know which movies you'll like? What is causing the rising incidence of autism? As best-selling author Charles Wheelan shows us in Naked Statistics, the right data and a few well-chosen statistical tools can help us answer these questions and more.

Historia
The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.

"Correlation does not imply causation". This mantra has been invoked by scientists for decades and has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. But today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, sparked by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and placed causality - the study of cause and effect - on a firm scientific basis.

Historia
In Super Bowl XLIX, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made one of the most controversial calls in football history: With 26 seconds remaining, and trailing by four at the Patriots' one-yard line, he called for a pass instead of a handing off to his star running back. The pass was intercepted, and the Seahawks lost. Critics called it the dumbest play in history. But was the call really that bad? Or did Carroll actually make a great move that was ruined by bad luck? Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time.

Historia
Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork. Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science.

Historia
After the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg felt certain that she and her children would never feel pure joy again. "I was in 'the void,'" she writes, "a vast emptiness that fills your heart and lungs and restricts your ability to think or even breathe." Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton, told her there are concrete steps people can take to recover and rebound from life-shattering experiences. We are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It is a muscle that everyone can build.

Incredible!!
A truly important message. Oliver Burkeman has explained something that should be common knowledge, then expanded on it, and has done so in such an eye-opening way. This is a topic that normally gets grazed over from time to time, while 4000 Weeks in an opportunity to get fully immersed in that which needs far more attention in our society today. This is over 5 hours of "Ah ha" moments. I've already bought it for three people, and I'll be listening to and reading it many more times I'm sure. Hands down the most helpful book I've come across.

Insightful
Very good and insightful. Well told and a book one talks about afterwards. Life is short and full of fallacies.

Excellent modern philosophy of your time
Very well read by the author. Accept things as they are and do what is most important next, which could be to do nothing.

Completely different approach to productivity
I like the “less is more” philosophy, the value of slowing down and accepting our finite time on this planet.

wonderful and very useful book
It is a very well made audiobook overall. I really enjoyed the naration and the fact that the lessons in this book were obviously lived and deeply felt by its author.
I would recommend it to anyone struggling with time management, self blame and feelings of unworthiness, anxiety and depression.
I learned a lot from it and it has given me a whole new perspective on life, helping me to start living fully and authentically every aspect of life, from the pleasant to the less pleasant ones.
I' ve even subscribed to Oliver's newsletter, which is filled with nuggets of wisdom and guidance, as is his book. You should definitely check out his website if you like the book. :)

great book
love books that remind me of the fleetingness of life. Paradoxically the recommendations are then to slow down and enjoy it. written by a "former productivity geek" I can relate.

Quite profound and life-changing
From the title, one could assume that this is a book hammering the message that you only have limited time, and therefore need to make the most of it by cramming as much into those four thousand weeks as possible. It's the opposite of that, and it's much more than that.
It's rather a psychology and philosophy book than it is a book about being productive - although being more productive was the initial goal of the author and a subject that he has extensive knowledge about. It's the book you need to read if you were in fact looking for yet another book on becoming more productive.
Probably the biggest insight for me was the realization that keeping busy with too many things is just a way of avoiding the discomfort of choosing. And inevitably, we have to choose because there are infinitely more options and things we want to do than what is possible. It will always be like this no matter how much we accomplish. By keeping options open and cramming our calendars/to-do lists, we distract and fool ourselves into thinking we can do it all. When in truth we should be owning up to the hard choices that come with not being able to do it all - and accepting the consequences of this. It's discomforting, but embracing it makes it less so. Doing more and working harder is not necessarily the right or brave thing to do - often choosing and accepting your limitations is the hard and meaningful thing you're avoiding by keeping "busy" as the easy way out.
I rarely think this of books, but this is one that I could picture myself listening to again in the future. It deals with a slightly counter-intuitive philosophy of life that takes time to fully process. I would likely get more out of it with a second listen. I haven't yet decided if I agree with all of it, but that doesn't matter, because the important thing is that it kickstarts essential thought processes. It also has some concrete "techniques" if you will, but not the kind you should quickly skim through to "optimize" your productivity. The reasoning behind it all is the real takeaway, and that you have to read the full chapters to grasp.
Thank you for writing the book. Not sure if you (Oliver) will ever read this review, because, as you know, it's not possible to read it all, so I don't mind if you make the brave choice to pass on this *wink *wink

Even though time is limited, I'd read this again
I loved this book! Not only was the authors performance super entertaining but the book is filled with such knowledge and wisdom! I mean, it is too accurate and it truly helps put things into perspective. I'll definitely be reading this book again and implementing many of the things I learned from it forever. What a pleasure.
