Manage episode 449315321 series 2500324
Author Oliver Burkeman's new book offers readers a reality check on their own limitations - and reveals there's benefits to knowing how finite life is.
Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts tells readers there's a limited time frame to get everything done - and that it's okay to embrace your personal limitations in reaching your goals.
Burkeman says people often distract themselves by thinking about the 'one day' in the future where they'll be on top of things and figure out their lives, but that day often never comes.
"It sort of keeps alive that fantasy where maybe we don't have to feel what it is to be a limited, finite human - which is uncomfortable to face, the truth."
