Summary of Oliver Burkeman's Four Thousand Weeks

By Slingshot Books Management & Leadership 01/09/2021

Excerpt From Summary of Oliver Burkeman's Four Thousand Weeks

#1

The average human lifespan is absurdly, terrifyingly, insultingly short. The first modern humans appeared on the plains of Africa at least 200,000 years ago, and scientists estimate that life, in some form, will persist for another 1. 5 billion years or more, until the intensifying heat of the sun condemns the last organism to death. However, if you live to be eighty, you will have had about 4,000 weeks.

#2

The author discusses how time management is the most important thing in your life. He argues that it's important to think about time in a different way and that it's important to take time for yourself.
