Oliver Burkeman offers a guide to embracing imperfection and making time for what matters, with practical tools and daily habits rooted in philosophy, religion, and psychology.

Can you actually live a life you love and get what you want? Only if you embrace that you can't have or do it all.

In Meditations for Mortals, author Oliver Burkeman emphasizes that humans are finite, and lowering your expectations is the real key to feeling fulfilled.

While Burkeman is often called a 'killjoy,' he explains that embracing finitude increases happiness and success.

Burkeman is a British author and journalist known for his weekly Guardian column, This Column Will Change Your Life. His other books include Four Thousand Weeks and The Antidote.
