Banish burnout. Choose calm. Embrace life.One day at a time. Meditations for Mortals takes us on a liberating journey towards a more meaningful life - one that begins not with fantasies of the ideal existence, but with the reality in which we actually find ourselves. Designed as a four-week retreat of the mind´, it offers daily wisdom, solace and inspiration to aid a saner, freer, and more enchantment-filled way of living.Addressing fundamental questions about how to live, Oliver Burkeman proposes a powerful new guiding philosophy of imperfectionism´. How can we embrace our limitations? Or make good decisions when there´s always too much to do? What if being truly productive means letting things happen, not making them happen?Reflecting on philosophy, literature, psychology, religion and self-help, Burkeman explores practical tools and shifts in perspective. The result is a bracing challenge to much familiar advice, and a profound yet entertaining crash course in living more fully.
