Event T25

Oliver Burkeman

Meditations for Mortals

 – Venue 2

How do we embrace the reality of our finiteness? How do we make decisions and act with conviction when there is always too much to do and failure is inevitable? How do we find a deeper sense of purpose when we realise that life is not a problem to be solved? How does care for others make us more free?

Join Oliver Burkemann as he discusses how to navigate these big questions over the course of just four weeks, and encourages you to embrace your limitations, thrive in an age of bewilderment, and finally make time for what counts.

Burkeman is the author of the Sunday Times-bestselling Four Thousand Weeks and The Antidote, and his latest book Meditations for Mortals. For many years wrote a popular weekly column on psychology for the Guardian, 'This Column Will Change Your Life'.

Price: £15.00
