Welcome to the first episode of a “Best of Series” on In Search of Wisdom. Over the next few weeks — I’ll be rebroadcasting a few of my favorite episodes! In this episode, my guest is Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. Oliver is a British writer, journalist, and longtime writer for the Guardian. 
In the conversation, Oliver and I discuss:
The productivity trap
Why it’s difficult to find time for the meaningful tasks in our life
The importance of patience
Contemplating our cosmic insignificance 
Why accepting our mortality can lead to making wiser decisions
Living in uncertainty and much more.
