Ep 8 Oliver Burkeman: The 'Future-Focused' Attitude

  • Resumen

  • Do you get anxious about the future? Are you obsessed with your to-do list? Is organising, scheduling, living for next week your thing? Then this is the episode for you. Oliver Burkeman's new book saved me from myself! I had so much fun chatting to him all about the 'future-focused' attitude and the 'when-I-finally' mind. We dissect PAGE 126 of his New York Times bestselling book, 'Four Thousand Weeks: Time and How To Use It'. 4000 weeks is roughly 80 years, which is hopefully how long we've got on the planet. The central question of the book is how do we make these weeks count? We discuss anxiety, tolerating a level of uncertainty and accepting that most things do not go to plan and never go perfectly. Oliver's book taught me to relax, trust myself and give up trying to get all my ducks in a row - things will go wrong, the to-do list will always be never-ending and that's ok. I love this book and appreciate Oliver's tips for staying in the here and now. --- Four Thousand Weeks - https://uk.bookshop.org/books/four-thousand-weeks-the-smash-hit-sunday-times-bestseller-that-will-change-your-life/9781847924018 Cal Newport's book - https://uk.bookshop.org/books/deep-work-rules-for-focused-success-in-a-distracted-world/9780349411903 Bruce Tift psychotherapist – http://www.brucetift.com Laura Vanderkam - https://lauravanderkam.com CS Lewis’ sermon - https://www.cslewis.com/learning-in-war-time/ Insight timer – https://insighttimer.com Ten Percent Happier - https://www.tenpercent.com --- Abby on Twitter and Instagram - @AbbyHollick Oliver on Twitter - @oliverburkeman --- Page is hosted and produced by Abby Hollick for Good Tape.
