Oliver is the author of the fantastic new book,<em> <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/3najtPa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Four Thousand Weeks<\/a><\/em>. In the episode, we have a fun, wide-ranging conversation about a bunch of topics, including:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>The idea of \u201cfinitude,\u201d and why it matters;<\/li>\r\n<li>Our \u201cfuture-chasing mindset,\u201d which prevents us from enjoying things;<\/li>\r\n<li>How trying to achieve a perfect mastery over our time can make us miserable;<\/li>\r\n<li>Where impatience comes from;<\/li>\r\n<li>The usefulness of productivity advice;<\/li>\r\n<li>The costs of hoarding our time;<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>..and more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/3najtPa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Four Thousand Weeks<\/a> <\/em>is an incredible read. It covers not just how we should manage our time, but also the place time management should have in our life in the first place. I highly recommend it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can listen (and subscribe) to the podcast below!<\/p>\r\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.blubrry.com\/?media_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.blubrry.com%2Fbecomingbetter%2Fcontent.blubrry.com%2Fbecomingbetter%2FBB63_Oliver_Burkeman.mp3&amp;modern=1&amp;podcast_link=https%3A%2F%2Fchrisbailey.com%2Fpodcast-my-interview-with-oliver-burkeman%2F#mode-Light&border-000000&progress-000000\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"165\" frameborder=\"0\" id=\"blubrryplayer-1\" class=\"blubrryplayer\" title=\"Blubrry Podcast Player\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A conversation on limits, finitude, and time management.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":219409,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3695],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
