Welcome to the first episode of a “Best of Series” on In Search of Wisdom. Over the next few weeks — I’ll be rebroadcasting a few of my favorite episodes! In this episode, my guest is Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. Oliver is a British writer, journalist, and longtime writer for the Guardian.
In the conversation, Oliver and I discuss:
- The productivity trap
- Why it’s difficult to find time for the meaningful tasks in our life
- The importance of patience
- Contemplating our cosmic insignificance
- Why accepting our mortality can lead to making wiser decisions
- Living in uncertainty and much more.
🦉 For any listeners interested in starting the year with wisdom, I encourage you to register for our upcoming course, Wisdom is the Way: The Timeless Art of Leading a Life. The course is free (and exclusive) for Perennial Meditations members (our daily newsletter on Substack). You can learn more and register here.
