All right, it's time for the Nancy Ray Book Club, 2023 edition.

For a list of all the books I'm reading this year, head to nancy ray.com slash book club.

And in these episodes, I'm going to share my three biggest takeaways from the books that I'm reading.

I keep a pace of about a book a month.

And it's usually the last episode of the month that you'll find me sharing about that current book on my

list. And today I'm going to be giving an honest review of 4,000 weeks time management for

mere mortals by Oliver Berkman. You're listening to Work and Play with Nancy Ray, episode 183.

Much of our daily lives can be divided into two categories, work and play.

Simply put, that is where our life and our legacy take place.

This is a podcast all about learning to work and play well,

which leads to a healthy soul and a fulfilling life.

Listen in.

Okay, I'm a firm believer that when you read, you have to kind of, what is it, take the meat

and leave the bones.

You pick and choose the things that are good

about the things you're reading or consuming and then you kind of leave the rest, right? And that's

certainly the case with this book, 4,000 weeks. It was a good read. It was challenging. It was different.

If I'm honest, I wish I had kind of looked into it a little bit more before I just

slapped it on my list. I didn't know a ton about it, but I just love time management stuff.

So I was like, oh, I love the title. I love time management. I'm going to get this book.

And I went for it. Well, totally fine. I always love reading something that's a little bit of a

challenge to me. But it just was, it was interesting. I'll dive into that a little bit in this episode, but it was interesting. Sometimes I was like, oh, okay, all right. This is a little depressing. Other times I'm like, okay, that's good. All right. And other times I'm like, all right, this dude and me, we don't believe anything the same at all.
