This is a book about how the world opens up once you realise you’re never going to sort your life out.
From this arresting opening line, “Meditations for Mortals”, the new book from Oliver Burkeman, author of mega bestseller “Four Thousand Weeks”, takes us on a 28-day journey to embracing the ‘imperfectionism’ of life. In short daily chapters, he explores:
-- How marvellously productive you become when you give up the quest to make yourself more and more productive.
-- How much easier it gets to do bold and important things once you accept that you’ll never get round to more than a handful.
-- How life transforms when we stop treating it as a problem to be solved.
We’re delighted to welcome Oliver to Stroud Book Festival for an unmissable event about embracing your limitations, and making time for what counts.
