Welcome to the first episode of a “Best of Series” on In Search of Wisdom. Over the next few weeks — I’ll be rebroadcasting a few of my favorite episodes! In this episode, my guest is Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. Oliver is a British writer, journalist, and longtime writer for the Guardian. 

In the conversation, Oliver and I discuss:

• The productivity trap
• Why it’s difficult to find time for the meaningful tasks in our life
• The importance of patience
• Contemplating our cosmic insignificance 
• Why accepting our mortality can lead to making wiser decisions
• Living in uncertainty and much more.

 🦉 For any listeners interested in starting the year with wisdom, I encourage you to register for our upcoming course, Wisdom is the Way: The Timeless Art of Leading a Life. The course is free (and exclusive) for Perennial Meditations members (our daily newsletter on Substack). You can learn more and register here.
