Description

A life-changing gift of a book: What if you tried to stop doing everything, so you could finally get round to what counts?

**The instant Sunday Times bestseller**

Rejecting the futile modern obsession with ‘getting everything done,’ Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing rather than denying their limitations.

Embrace your limits. Change your life. Discover how to make your four thousand weeks count in 2026.
