Episode Synopsis

Feeling overwhelmed by your never-ending to-do list?
Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman is one of today’s hottest self-help bestsellers—and for good reason. This 28-day guide helps you slow down, stress less, and actually enjoy life… even though (spoiler alert) we’re all on the clock.

In this video, I share my Top 5 Takeaways from the book, including:

Why accepting your limits is freeing (not depressing)

How to finally stop overthinking and start doing

Why effort doesn’t always equal value

How to actually be present (without chanting on a mountaintop)

And how remembering we’re mortal can help us live richer, calmer lives

If you’re juggling work, life, and a calendar that looks like a game of Tetris, this book—and this video—might just help you breathe again.
