| book description |

Stop trying to sort your life out. Start living. ‘Full of wisdom and comfort' CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN ‘A practical path toward personal transformation… A must-read' CAL NEWPORT Our lives can feel defined by the struggle with overwhelm, endless decisions and striving to be productive. Wouldn’t it be good to stop doing all that? What if we could find freedom – and get more of the important things done – by embracing our limitations, and by letting things happen instead of forcing them? Meditations for Mortals begins with the reality in which we actually find ourselves, not with fantasies of an ideal existence. Reflecting on ideas from philosophy, religion, psychology and self-help, it offers us a powerful and practical new way to do what counts: a guiding outlook Oliver Burkeman calls ‘imperfectionism’. This book is a profound and liberating crash course in living more fully. It overturns much familiar advice and opens a gateway to a saner, freer and more enchantment-filled life in 2026. 'If there are two people who have changed my life...then one of them is Oliver Burkeman' PANDORA SYKES 'Oliver Burkeman has a way of giving you the most unexpected productivity advice exactly when you need it’ MARK MANSON READERS LOVE MEDITATIONS FOR MORTALS: ‘If you were only to read one book in your life, let it be this one’ ‘Simultaneously simple and deeply profound’ ‘Reading Oliver Burkeman has actually changed my life’ ‘At once mind-bending and worldview-shattering’ ‘The rare kind of self-help book that I think everyone would benefit from’
