Hey Shelf Improvers!

New month, new book!

By popular request, we’re diving into Four Thousand Weeks—a powerful and thought-provoking book by Oliver Burkeman that challenges our relationship with time.

This isn’t your typical time management guide. Instead of cramming more into your day, Burkeman invites us to accept our limits and focus on what truly matters. It’s about choosing wisely—not doing everything.

🎙️ In today’s episode, we explore the first 3 chapters:

• Intro – In The Long Run, We're all dead

• Part 1 - Choosing to Choose

• Chapter 1 – The Limit-Embracing Life

• Chapter 2 – The Efficiency Trap

Hey Shelf Improvers!

Ever wondered what it takes to go from buying your first property at 19 to running multiple successful businesses? This week’s guest proves that with vision and hustle, anything is possible.

In this inspiring bonus episode, we sit down with David Lamb — a powerhouse in the property world. From securing his first property as a teenager to now running Orange Sales and Lettings, a construction firm, and hosting the Beyond the Bricks podcast, David is the definition of a modern-day entrepreneur.

He shares the highs, the hard lessons, and the mindset that helped him scale.

His book of choice we dive into, is a game-changing book that fuels his philosophy: 10x is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan — the same brilliant mind behind Who Not How, another favorite we've discussed in past episodes.

Whether you're new to investing or knee-deep in bricks and mortar, David’s story will give you the motivation to dream bigger and build smarter.

🎧 Listen now and get inspired to level up your own journey.

Hey Shelf Improvers!

🎙️ In today’s episode, we’re covering the last 2 chapters of the book!

Chapter 6 - Building a New Future

Chapter 7 - From Self- Sabotage to Self Mastery

Next Month we will be delving into another new book voted by our community 'Four Thousand Weeks' by Oliver Burkeman

Oliver Burkeman takes a refreshingly honest and deeply philosophical dive into time management, flipping the script on hustle culture and productivity hacks. With only about four thousand weeks in an average human life, he challenges us to stop chasing the illusion of control and embrace the beautifully finite nature of our existence. This book isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what truly matters. Perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed, stuck on the hamster wheel, or just craving a slower, more intentional way to live.
