Addressing the fundamental questions about how to live, Meditations for Mortals<\/span> offers a powerful new way to take action on what counts: a guiding philosophy of life Oliver Burkeman calls \u201cimperfectionism.\u201d It helps us tackle challenges as they crop up in our daily lives: our finite time, the lure of distraction, the impossibility of doing anything perfectly, the feeling that the world is spinning out of control.<\/p>\nHow can we embrace our nonnegotiable limitations? Or make good decisions when there\u2019s always too much to do? How do we shed the illusion that life will really begin as soon as we can \u201cget on top of everything\u201d? Reflecting on quotations drawn from philosophy, religion, literature, psychology, and self-help, Burkeman explores a combination of practical tools and daily shifts in perspective. The result is a life-enhancing and surprising challenge to much familiar advice\u2015and a profound yet entertaining crash course in living more fully.<\/p>\n
To be either read as a four-week \u201cretreat of the mind\u201d or devoured in one or two sittings, Meditations for Mortals<\/span> will be a source of solace and inspiration, and an aid to a saner, freer, and more enchantment-filled life. In anxiety-inducing times, it is rich in truths we have never needed more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Author: Oliver Burkeman Publisher: Picador Paper Addressing the fundamental questions about how to live, Meditations for Mortals offers a powerful new way to take action on what counts: a guiding philosophy of life Oliver Burkeman calls \u201cimperfectionism.\u201d It helps us tackle challenges as they crop up in our daily lives: our finite time, the lure […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":120999,"template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[110,136,141,167,20,29],"product_tag":[],"bundle_layout":"","bundled_by":[],"bundled_items":[],"yoast_head":"\n
