Books by Oliver Burkeman, particularly Four Thousand Weeks and Meditations for Mortals, have generated significant discussion across a variety of podcasts. On Modern Wisdom, the host asked a guest if she had read the author's new work, Meditations for Mortals, prompting confirmation and praise for his writing. On The Ezra Klein Show, Ezra Klein noted that Oliver Burkeman had previously written about a specific time-management anecdote involving a man quitting the news.
