"Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts" by Oliver Burkeman challenges the conventional wisdom of time management and productivity. Burkeman argues that the idea of getting everything done and feeling at peace with time is a lie perpetuated by self-help experts. Instead, he suggests fully accepting the reality that not everything will be accomplished, even the genuinely important things. The book offers practical advice on how to navigate the complexities of life and find comfort in embracing problems rather than trying to solve them. It encourages readers to develop a broader perspective on controlling schedules and embracing the present moment. [Extracted from the article]
