Why read it?

1 author picked Meditations for Mortals as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

As with all Oliver Burkeman's writing, it challenges my thinking, my perspectives on life, society's assumptions and our typical daily habits. It really challenges our relationship with time which is a fundamental part of being human and starts prompting us to rethink how we consider concepts of productivity, success, and how we spend our time.
