书籍简介

没人需要被告知时间不够。我们沉迷于不断增长的待办事项清单、塞满的收件箱、工作与生活的平衡，以及与分心的无休止的斗争；我们被关于变得更有生产力和效率的建议以及优化我们生活的“生活窍门”所淹没。但是这种技术往往会让事情变得更糟。焦虑的紧迫感越来越强烈，而生活中有意义的部分似乎还在地平线之外。然而，我们很少把我们每天与时间的斗争和zui终的时间管理问题联系起来:如何有效利用我们的四千周。

借鉴古代和当代哲学家，心理学家和精神导师的见解，奥利弗伯克曼提供了一个有趣，幽默，实用，并深刻的时间和时间管理指南。《四千周》拒绝了对“完成一切”的徒劳的现代执着，向读者介绍了通过拥抱有限来构建有意义生活的工具，展示了我们对时间的许多无益的思考方式并不是不可避免的、不变的真理，而是我们作为个人和社会所做的选择，以及我们可以以不同的方式做事情。

The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks.

Nobody needs telling there isn't enough time. We're obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we're deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and "life hacks" to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks.

Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on "getting everything done," Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways we've come to think about time aren't inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we've made as individuals and as a society--and that we could do things differently.
