A book about our relationship with time and our futile attempts to „manage time“.
I’d give 5 stars because he eloquently introduces some great concepts: embracing that we will never be able to do everything, stop wasting each moment by always living in the future, enjoying the mundane and learning that „to settle“ is something to strive for, not to avoid.
I‘d give 3 stars because the book was sometimes exhausting to read. Clearly well written, Oliver Burkeman sometimes lost me because some paragraphs felt as if they were intently „very well written“ even though simpler language might have also worked.
