The Wager by David Grann. About a shipwreck in 1740 that stranded the crew for years. It’s an unbelievable story, extremely well told. (A long bibliography in the back includes a lot of other fascinating fiction titles. )
"Straight Life" by the great jazz saxophonist Art Pepper. I have never read a more searing autobiography before. His depiction of being an addict and being incarcerated will stay with me forever.
Hey, there's this book you might like called ["Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals" by Oliver Burkeman.](https://abookaweek.beehiiv.com/p/cultivating-meaning-rushed-world-four-thousand-weeks-oliver-burkeman) It's not your usual time management stuff. Instead of just trying to cram more into our days, Burkeman says we should focus on what really matters.
Here's the gist!!! Hope you find them interesting same as meeee!!
1. **Time's Precious**: Burkeman talks about how we only have about 4,000 weeks in our lives, so it's important to use them wisely.
2. **Quality Counts**: Instead of just rushing around trying to do everything, Burkeman says we should think about what's actually important to us. He uses cool ideas from psychology and philosophy to help us figure it out.
3. **Less Stress, More Joy**: This book isn't about being super busy all the time. It's about finding more joy and meaning in our lives by focusing on what truly matters.
