Details

Hello readers,
Welcome to the second edition of our book club.

This meetup slash book club explores books that can help each and every one of us improve our wellbeing, grow in our interest areas, and achieve balance in life and at work.

Once every 2-3 months, we will meet to debate interesting ideas and practical tips from a book announced well in advance. To participate, it is highly recommended you read that edition's book, but you'll definitely benefit by joining even if you don’t have time to finish the book.

To stay up to date with events’ dates and book titles, make sure to join our meetup group or follow Victory Square Partners* on social media (we’re active on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram).

**Victory Square Partners in a software engineering company invested in its employees wellbeing and growth. We believe that personal interests and development are the stepping stones of a healthy individual who can also achieve fulfillment in their career. More on victorysquarepartners.com*

The book of August
Four Thousand Weeks. Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman
Feeling overwhelmed by the relentless ticking of the clock? Buckle up, because Oliver Burkeman is here to shake up our perspective on time management. In this witty and profound book, he reminds us that our lifespan is absurdly brief – just over 4,000 measly weeks. But instead of drowning in to-do lists and productivity hacks, Burkeman guides the way for us to find meaning in the chaos.

Drawing from ancient and modern wisdom, he offers a refreshingly honest take on the human struggle with time, challenging the notion that we can "get everything done." Prepare to ditch the anxious hurry and discover a more fulfilling approach to life's ultimate time management problem.
