4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. It goes against a lot of societally enforced norms we’re coming up against, and suggests the benefits of living a more aware, intentional life and the benefits of commitment and community. Awesome, awesome book I constantly recommend to people.

I cannot agree more. I listened to it all the way through twice and it had a profound impact on how I see the world. It feels like an essential guide for living in the modern world. I look forward to reading it on paper to see what else I can get out of it.
I agree - this book is great. I find it hard to really explain what this book about (time management?) without making it sound less interesting than it actually is, but it really has impacted my thinking. Definitely one that I'm going to keep coming back to.
I just finished the audiobook, which is read by the author. Lovely.

He also has a short series inside Sam Harris' (paid) 'Waking Up' meditation app which is how I got on to him (Oliver Burkeman).

I listened to the course on Waking Up too, and I can highly recommend it.
