Abstract
The book is structured into 28 short
meditations, each designed to be read
daily, but just as effective for those who
prefer dipping in and out. What struck me,
especially given the constant demands of
both work and home, is how Burkeman
dismantles the belief that success is tied
to endless productivity. He argues that
productivity is not the ultimate measure
of our worth and that, sometimes, the
most productive action we can take is to
pause, rest and reflect. This message is
particularly powerful for those managing
busy lives, providing a much-needed
reminder that balance is more important
than the endless pursuit of doing more
