4000 Weeks (Ep. 127)

The average person lives about 4000 weeks. To author Oliver Burkeman, that sounded absurdly brief. So in response to this "radical finitude," Burkeman wrote the kind of self-help book that David has been wishing for years. One that doesn't necessarily provide ten tips and tricks for a more productive morning, but asks some of the deeper, more difficult questions about what we spend our 4000 weeks doing, and what we think makes our time worthwhile. In this episode, David and Eugene discuss some of the key ideas from the book, "Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals," while Eugene talks about why the book may not necessarily be for him. As always, thanks for listening!
