- Nobody has enough time these days - but our efforts to cope with busyness just leave us feeling busier. Ancient philosophers and cutting-edge research agree on the surprising solution: learn to love your limits. Oliver Burkeman is a columnist for The Guardian, based in Brooklyn, and author of The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can’t Stand Positive Thinking.

Oliver's talk reminds me of that ancient phrase "Memento Mori". Remember that you will die - a great way to think about your daily choices in life.
This is amazing. Oliver is a genuine master of his craft! This stuff needs to be viewed more widely. But then, truth has never been popular. And popularity is never the touchstone either for establishing the truth of something. In his academy, Plato will sometimes see only one student, Aristotle who had come to attend his lecture. Plato will say, "In having you here, Aristotle, we have half of the Athens present!"
Currently reading his book; Four Thousand Hours. Thus my reason for searching for him on RUclips. I think his book is liberating as time has been a big struggle for me lately.
Same
I’m obsessed with time. Always have. More so getting older with more going on, being busier in life. Certain personalities are more obsessed with time.
Anyone else watching this at 2x speed and feeling the irony?
More than the irony of the speaker checking the clock for his presentation, as he explains how not to fight time?!
@@marcosviagem,
Such a great observation! ;)
Not until I read this comment. lol
I wanted to, then I saw your message and I decided to take a breath and chill 😅😅😅
Correction: 2 min later I HAD TO speed it up 😂
I really enjoyed to Read the book 4000 weeks.
It’s not a waste of time to read it and so my system allowed to read it without any pressure or regret.
Great book ❤
One of the best Ted Talks I have seen. But why the really distracting constantly repeated "GameOver" visual plugging away next to Oliver?
Yes. Distracting, wasn’t it?
Yes!! Worst thing I’ve seen as part of any TED talk video production. At first I thought someone made some kind of error and left it running in the background by accident 😮 Started dreading the shots where it would appear on the left side…
he's so right.
It seems that a lot of things he talked about overlaps with a book called Essentialism. I highly recommend the book I found you want to learn more about what he talked about!
So good! Thank you.
Love it, breath of fresh air 👌
Bravissimo!
I'm captivated by the intellectual caliber of this material. A book with parallel content significantly influenced my opinions. "Dominating Your Clock: Strategies for Professional and Personal Success" by Anthony Rivers
Great stuff! Read his books for more insight
I like this idea and talk about time.
It's too bad I didn't have time to finish the video.
Lol The deathbed joke was surprisingly funny
thankyou
- prioritize
- overwhelm, find meaning
- time is limited, choices not they infinite
- plan a vs b
The visual in the background is loudly disruptive.
Agreed
Totally
I feel several concepts he talks about are linked to living life in the context of Existential philosophical ideas.
Facing the reality of impending death, life is a series of choices which we need to consider our freedom vs responsibility for, human existence is so fleeting and therefore both pointless and also paradoxically deeply meaningful, essentially we are alone in this world.
When you internalise these ideas, you naturally live more authentically and your time is managed accordingly?! Highly simplified, but my take on it nevertheless xx
Ironic that I sped up the audio to reduce the time to listen to this.
You remind me to lookup my Email! 👍
👍
The Yeti exists
05:07 Don't tell anyone you saw me.😘
Great speech and a great book. BUT! British people avoid conflict at all costs and never want to say no to anybody?!? Has he ever met a British person? I can't think of a group of people on Earth who match that description less.
Haha. Very true.
Esoterismo o realidad?
Speaking 18 minutes, but actually not saying anything. If people stopped adding words to the conversation (speech) that don't have importance to the actual message, then everyone would save lots of time. From academic articles to average Tedx talks, people add meaningless words. I read some of technical books that were written 2-3 decades ago and I realized they are simpler and more concise than modern ones while educating you. Apparent examples as verbose are Jordan Peterson and 99% of Tedx talks.
Well I understand your point
But no one is gonna remember an isolated fact.
These talks are influential bcz of the meaningless words...
Infact your comment shows that you didn't understand the meaning of this video.
You aim to do many many more things with your time...
But in the end it only causes more harm than good...
I am myself someone who likes to be efficient
But sometimes you need to relax and live life in the moment... jusstt relax
Absolutely a incorrect assessment of human life. He is part of the pretenders who think that they are a important.cog in the echo system of humanity. The Poor of the world who make up the majority think differently. A sad display of time mis spent.
I've read his book and that's the opposite of what he thinks...
