"Addressing the fundamental questions about how to live, [this book] offers a ... way to take action on what counts: a guiding philosophy of life Oliver Burkeman calls 'imperfectionism.' It helps us tackle challenges as they crop up in our daily lives: our finite time, the lure of distraction, the impossibility of doing anything perfectly. How can we embrace our nonnegotiable limitations? Or make good decisions when there's always too much to do? How do we shed the illusion that life will really begin as soon as we can 'get on top of everything'? Reflecting on quotations drawn from philosophy, religion, literature, psychology, and self-help, Burkeman explores a combination of practical tools and daily shifts in perspective"--
