Episode Description

Kelley and Erin are still working on new episodes in the background. In the meantime, please enjoy the second (A)Theist Encore!

This week we’re replaying our conversation with New York Times best selling author Oliver Burkeman.

A world-renowned journalist, Oliver has published several popular books including:

  • HELP!: How to Become Slightly Happier and Get a Bit More Done

  • The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can’t Stand Positive Thinking

  • Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts

He also published a weekly column for The Guardian for over a decade called “This Column Will Change Your Life.”

Writing with a scientifically-based approach to self-help, philosophy, and the psychology of time management and happiness, Oliver took precious time out of his life to help our fledgling podcast VERY early in our production run. 

He specifically discusses his most famous book: Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. The premise is simple: Our lives last approximately 4,000 weeks; perhaps we should slow down and prioritize what matters most to each of us.

We are eternally grateful to Oliver for gracing us with his time and brilliance and hope our audience enjoys this replay!

Also, we’ve got a new project in the works that involves Oliver Burkeman’s most recent book. Check out the details at www.atheistpodcast.com/oliverburkeman
