Oliver Burkeman: Meditations for Mortals

In his latest book, Oliver Burkeman challenges us to embrace our limitations, make good decisions even when there is ‘too much to do’, and shed the illusion that life will begin once we ‘get on top of things.’ 

Meditations for Mortals is an insightful, reflective retreat of the mind, combining quotations from philosophy, religion, and literature, with practical tools to encourage us to shift our perspective and live life more fully. 

Oliver Burkeman is the author of the Sunday Times bestselling Four Thousand Weeks and The Antidote, and for many years wrote a popular weekly column on psychology for the Guardian, ‘This Column Will Change Your Life‘. His work has also appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Psychologies and New Philosopher.
