I loved Four Thousand Weeks. The new one sounds intriguing, but wasn't the point of the first book that "you don't even need to Finally Make Time for What Counts", because that is a rather new concept considering the history of civilization? You just did what you had to do. You don't have to make it count and min-max your life. Do you see this as a contradiction?
