Description

A map for a liberating journey toward a more meaningful life―a journey that begins where we actually find ourselves, not with a fantasy of where we’d like to be―from the New York Times bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks Addressing the fundamental questions about how to live, Meditations for Mortals offers a powerful new way to take action on what counts: a guiding philosophy of life Oliver Burkeman calls “imperfectionism.” It helps us tackle challenges as they crop up in our daily lives: our finite time, the lure of distraction, the impossibility of doing anything perfectly. How can we embrace our nonnegotiable limitations? Or make good decisions when there’s always too much to do? How do we shed the illusion that life will really begin as soon as we can “get on top of everything”? Reflecting on quotations drawn from philosophy, religion, literature, psychology, and self-help, Burkeman explores a combination of practical tools and daily shifts in perspective. The result is a life-enhancing and surprising challenge to much familiar advice―and a profound yet entertaining crash course in living more fully. To be read either as a four-week “retreat of the mind” or devoured in one or two sittings, Meditations for Mortals will be a source of solace and inspiration, and an aid to a saner, freer, and more enchantment-filled life. In anxiety-inducing times, it is rich in truths we have never needed more. Read more

    • Timely for me yet timeless book for all
Fantastic book. I read a galley copy and after reading the introduction, I pre-ordered the hard copy. I have recommended this book to multiple coworkers. It’s not a fix-it-all book and does not pretend to be. It’s just a simple book of 28 days of reading. It’s something I plan to read each year. There’s nothing magical offered in the book but it provides the reader a chance to face (and accept) that our time is running out. There are no general solutions offered because none actually exist and all we are left with is the choice to embrace each moment and do what best serves us. At least that’s what I got from it. ... show more

    • Philosophy of being mortal
I found this book an incredibly insightful reminder of how we fail to choose what is important to us in life as well as wise and convincingly phrased permissions to seek those things whenever possible. I often spend too much time in my head planning and doing whatever I think I should be doing rather than doing what I truly want to do. While a certain amount of this is necessary, the vast majority of it is not. Life is short, we are never in control, and we must chase joy whenever possible. While this seems obvious, humans have evolved to ignore those things quite a bit of the time, and society imposes norms that don't support them. This is not a prescriptive self-help book, but rather a gentle philosophical guide about how to approach personally realigning daily priorities and enjoying each day to the fullest. I highly recommend this book for anyone who feels they lose their way occasionally, and who doesn't? ... show more

    • No skin in the game
the author with his previous book went full steam with the hypothesis that how one should try to optimize ones life and now tales a total 360 degrees turn and suggests a non optimal way., one must read this book with caution and with other scientific evidence that has been produced as one needs to take a position and not just for the sake to sell more books, just write on both opinions and have no position to defend. ... show more
