奧利佛.柏克曼《人生4千個禮拜: 時間不是用來掌控的, 直面生命的有限, 打造游刃有餘的時間運用觀》
《衛報》專欄作家探討「時間有限」的概念,融合第一人稱報導、哲學歷史漫談、智慧文獻及心理學,提出我們對時間的許多想像,並非不不可改變的事實,一切都是我們的選擇。 即使活到八十歲,也不過四千多個禮拜而已。這本書從真正務實的角度講時間管理,打破淺薄而不具意義的建議,直指「終級的時間管理就是生命的管理」。
The average human lifespan is absurdly, outrageously, insultingly brief: if you live to 80, you have about four thousand weeks on earth. How should we use them best?
Of course, nobody needs telling that there isn't enough time. We're obsessed by our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, the struggle against distraction, and the sense that our attention spans are shrivelling. Yet we rarely make the conscious connection that these problems only trouble us in the first place thanks to the ultimate time-management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks.
