The name of the book comes from a very simple place. If we live to the age of 80, we will have roughly four thousand weeks of life on this earth. When you think about it, that’s not a lot of time. While we are here, we must make every minute count. This book will help you make the absolute best of the four thousand weeks we are given.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Burkeman focuses on using an entertaining tone and lighthearted nature to help the reader recognize that time must be used wisely. It’s time to slow down and use this brief time we have to its fullest.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
