A brilliant book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and learned so much. I finished it feeling empowered and in control - two words I never thought I'd use about my skincare! You can feel the care from Dr Dondos. It's like a love letter from her to any woman who has ever felt bamboozled by the beauty industry. I will be buying a copy for all the women in my life!

—— Lily Boulle, Founder & Managing Director of Sleep Siren

No judgement - lots of information, this book seeks to give women choices and whilst my age management system is rooted in nutrition, Dr Vicki Dondos's sensible subtle and sophisticated approach to skin makes her my choice for clients seeking a clinical approach

Four Thousand Weeks is a book to read and re-read, to absorb and reflect on. Compassionate, funny and wise, it has not left my mind since I read it. The modern world teaches us to pretend to be immortal-this book is a dip in the cold, clear waters of reality, returning us refreshed and alive

—— Naomi Alderman, author of The Power

Peppered with good stories... Subtle, provocative and multi-layered... Offers many wise pointers to a happier, less stress-filled life, with none of the usual smug banalities of the self-help genre... Happy days!

—— Craig Brown , Mail on Sunday

Four Thousand Weeks is full of such sage and sane advice, delivered with dry wit and a benevolent tone. I didn't wish back any of the time I spent reading it

—— Joe Moran , Guardian

A fantastic, warm, clever book

—— Kate Mosse

Terrific

—— Derren Brown , The Times

Every so often you read a book that so profoundly shifts your thinking that you feel indebted with gratitude to the author. Utterly brilliant

—— Yasmin Khan

So easy to read that I finished it in one sitting... I'll probably never organise my time so well again

—— Henry Mance , Financial Times, *Books of the Year*

I seldom read self-help books, but Oliver Burkeman's Four Thousand Weeks is in a class of its own

—— James Wilsdon , Research Professional News, *Books of the Year*

A compelling argument for why we should be doing less and doing it better... This comforting, calm book is filled with sensible, practical ideas

—— Independent, *Books of the Year*

Burkeman offers practical solutions to problems that might otherwise seem too monolithic to disassemble

—— Emily Watkins , i

Oliver Burkeman's Guardian feature was called "This Column Will Change Your Life". The wisdom of this book could do the same

[A] brilliant, comforting time-management guide
