How to Make the Most of a Finite Life (w/ Oliver Burkeman) | How to Be a Better Human | TED https://tube.grossholtz.net/videos/watch/f68fa0ce-c22f-4f9e-8138-a790e5b7b16b There’s only so much you can do in a week — or, according to Oliver Burkeman, in the roughly 4,000 weeks the average human lives. Oliver is a journalist and author of the books "Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, Meditations for Mortals" and the newsletter “The Imperfectionist.” Chris and Oliver discuss the paradoxes of making change happen, how life’s mishaps can become our most treasured memories, and why sharing your imperfections can be an act of generosity. This is an episode of TED's How to Be a Better Human podcast.
