Finished reading: Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman 📚
A splendid book that develops several lines of thought from his earlier (and also great) 4000 Weeks. (His recent talk here in Austin was a brilliant introduction to his thought.) Burkeman’s ‘imperfectionist’ approach is a refreshing intervention into the productivity conversation. Though he patches his philosophy together from a range of sources (e.g., Zen Buddhism, the stoics, self-help gurus, etc.), I can’t help myself from seeing the clear connections and deep resonances with a Christian vision of reality, as I’ve gestured at before.
