—— Robert Cialdini, author of INFLUENCE and PRE-SUASIONKevin Dutton has the great gift of being able to see patterns in human behaviour… He talks about his discoveries, and about their implications for all of us, with the flair and clarity of a practised storyteller. Fascinating, important, and entirely convincing.
—— Philip PullmanKevin Dutton is a Special Forces style psychologist. Daring. Original. All-action. No nonsense.

—— Mark Manson, bestselling author of Everything is F*cked and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ckHis book will challenge and amuse you. And it may even spur you on to change your life. At the very least reading it would be a good use of one of your four thousand weeks
—— Robbie Smith , Evening StandardI loved this book - it's a celebration of all that is most human: a deep dive into the value and potency of our finitude. Where we might buckle under pressure and uncertainty, Oliver quietly restores our centre of gravity within. You'll emerge from his writing fortified by wonder
—— Derren BrownA beautiful, uplifting read. Reading Oliver Burkeman, I feel my shoulders relax and my mouth curl into a smile of admiration. Witty, modest and refreshingly sane
—— Robert Webb, author of How Not to Be a BoyComforting, fascinating, engaging, inspiring and USEFUL, actually genuinely useful
—— Marian KeyesOliver Burkeman provides an important and insightful reassessment of productivity. The drive to get more done can become an excuse to avoid figuring out what we actually want to accomplish. Only by confronting this latter question can we unlock a calmer, more meaningful, more resilient approach to organizing our time
—— Cal Newport, bestselling author of A World Without Email and Deep WorkWe all know our time is limited. What we don't know - but what Oliver Burkeman is here to teach us - is that our control over that time is also limited. This profound (and often hilarious) book will prompt you to rethink your worship of efficiency, reject the cult of busyness, and reconfigure your life around what truly matters
—— Daniel H. Pink, author of When, Drive, and To Sell is HumanThis is the most important book ever written about time management.

—— Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of WorkLifeI have long loved Oliver Burkeman's wise and witty journalism that both interrogates and elevates the 'self-help' realm-revealing its possibilities for absurdity while honoring the deeper human impulses that it meets. Four Thousand Weeks is a splendid offering in that spirit. This book is at once sobering and refreshing on all that is truly at stake in what we blithely refer to as 'time management.' It invites nothing less than a new relationship with time-and with life itself
—— Krista Tippett, host of On BeingFour 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
