CHRIS EVANS - HOW TO WOW

#42 - Oliver Burkeman

•

And just like that, we're back for another episode of How To Wow with the incredibly eloquent journalist, writer and now guru Oliver Burkeman.


His new book Four Thousand Weeks: Time and How To Use It stems from the fact that our lifespan lasts for 4,000 weeks, if we are fortunate to live until 80. What he says about time and how we pass through it is fascinating will make you want to re-think your day-to-day and make the most of every single moment.
