A map for a liberating journey toward a more meaningful life?a journey that begins where we actually find ourselves, not with a fantasy of where we�d like to be?from the New York Times bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks How would life open up if we stopped treating it as a problem to be solved? Addressing the fundamental questions about how to live, Meditations for Mortals offers a powerful new way to take action on what counts: a guiding philosophy of life Oliver Burkeman calls �imperfectionism.� It helps us tackle challenges as they crop up in our daily lives: our finite time, the lure of distraction, the impossibility of doing anything perfectly. How can we embrace our nonnegotiable limitations? Or make good decisions when there�s always too much to do? How do we shed the illusion that life will really begin as soon as we can �get on top of everything�?
