Reflecting on ideas drawn from philosophy, religion, literature, psychology, and self-help, Burkeman explores practical tools and shifts in perspective. The result is a bracing challenge to much familiar advice, and a profound yet entertaining crash course in living more fully.
Meditations for Mortals takes us on a liberating journey towards a more meaningful life ? one that begins not with fantasies of the ideal existence, but with the reality in which we actually find ourselves.
Addressing the fundamental questions about how to live, it offers a powerful new way to take action on what counts: a guiding philosophy of life Oliver Burkeman calls ?imperfectionism?.
To be read either as a four-week ?retreat of the mind? or devoured in one or two sittings, Meditations for Mortals will be a source of solace and inspiration, and an aid to a saner, freer, and more enchantment-filled life in 2025.
In anxiety-inducing times, it is rich in truths we have never needed more.
