Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Provocative and appealing . . . well worth your extremely limited time." —Barbara Spindel, The Wall Street Journal The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks. Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks. Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a society—and that we could do things differently.

Book excerpt: Welcome to Kyrgyzstan, a country of glaring contrasts. It is Muslim, but alcoholic. It is mountainous spirituality and nomadic tradition, but governed by rigid Communist rhetoric. It is distrusting of outside influences, but gripped by a worship of all things foreign. Set on the eve of this small Central Asian republic's independence from Soviet Russia, "Abandon" relates the story of two foundlings as they struggle to find their own voices. Torn between the ancient beliefs of their people and the current sluggish movement toward democracy, Tashtan and Kerez must decide how much they value their freedom. Simultaneously occuring in the past and present, in the majestic Ala-Too mountains and its valley villages, "Abandon" illustrates a world in which both bride stealing and proletariat equality are taken for granted. In his debut novel Dave Gallagher uses a cast of complex characters to introduce the western world to the humanity and heartbreak of the Silk Road. His remarkable insight and understanding of the Kyrgyz make this exotic land accessible and endearing.

When Ben first met Summer, she inspired him to start his scrapbook of tales from London’s past. Now, as he walks, Ben recounts extracts from his scrapbook and, encouraged by Annie, slowly finds the courage to tell the story of his relationship with Summer – a relationship inextricably linked to locations they pass, including Battersea Park and its little, brown dog statue, and the Natural History Museum, home of the cursed Deadly Purple Sapphire.
