First 720 pages of Lost Highway Times/Times of Hate Times of Joy website at http: //leftthought.blogspot.com. Deals with practically everything in the political and philosophical, and cultural spectrum. Goes from traditional socialist themes to counter-culture, to libertarian socialism and anarchism, to thoughts on religion, to the exploration of obscure but important philosophical movements and figures and how their ideas figure into today's world. Talks a lot about history and explores parallels between different historical epochs. Includes the evaluation of the present day as threatening to veer into fascism, and looks at what some of the structural and economic causes of this veering into could be, why, in the post 9/11 world this is more likely to happen. Everything is mixed in together, and, because it's large format, this is actually much bigger than a conventional 720 page book; this is more like a 900 page conventional format book, and that's only the first 2 years, four months, of the website

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Provocative and appealing . . . well worth your extremely limited time." —Barbara Spindel, The Wall Street Journal The average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks. Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless battle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the challenge of how best to use our four thousand weeks. Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern fixation on “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a society—and that we could do things differently.
