Episode description

Are you tired of feeling like you're constantly behind, struggling to get on top of everything? In this thought-provoking conversation, Oliver Burkeman, author of Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts, offers a radically different perspective. Discover how accepting your human limitations can paradoxically lead to more presence, ease, and meaning in your daily life.

Burkeman shares insights on making powerful micro-decisions, developing a "taste for problems," reframing interruptions as opportunities, and showing up fully for the richness of each moment - without waiting for some future "sorted" state. Prepare to rethink productivity and uncover the liberation in truly inhabiting your finitude.
