How can we embrace our limits? Oliver Burkeman dispels the myths of self-help and helps us realise a freer and more enchanted life.
Oliver Burkeman’s global bestseller Four Thousand Weeks was a reflection upon our brief time on earth that changed lives and inspired thousands. Now armed with a meadow of playful metaphors to illustrate his philosophy, he joins the podcast to offer us a crash course in how to make the most of our lives without giving into the cult of self-help.
Sharing his cynicism of society’s overemphasis on hyperproductivity, which has held us hostage to a ‘daily productivity debt’, Oliver shows that ‘done not perfect’ is always better. Tune in to discover why letting things happen rather than making them happen could increase your productivity, and why realising that things are worse than you imagined can be the liberating force your life needs.
