Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The secret to productivity isn't discipline. It's joy.

We think that productivity is all about hard work. That the road to success is lined with endless frustration and toil. But what if there's another way?

Dr Ali Abdaal - the world's most-followed productivity expert - has uncovered an easier, happier path to success. Drawing on decades of psychological research, he has found that the secret to productivity and success isn't grind - it's feeling good. If you can make your work feel good, then productivity takes care of itself.

In this revolutionary book, Ali reveals how the science of feel-good productivity can transform your life. He introduces the three hidden 'energisers' that underpin enjoyable productivity, the three 'blockers' we must overcome to beat procrastination, and the three 'sustainers' that prevent burnout and help us achieve lasting fulfilment. He recounts the inspiring stories of founders, Olympians, and Nobel-winning scientists who embody the principles of Feel-Good Productivity. And he introduces the simple, actionable changes that you can use to achieve more and live better, starting today.

Armed with Ali's insights, you won't just accomplish more. You'll feel happier and more fulfilled along the way.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

Ali is the master of productivity. Nobody has a talent for distilling complicated ideas into fun, accessible and actionable insights quite like him. (STEVEN BARTLETT, creator of Diary of a CEO)
Ali is the absolute master on how to be productive without sacrificing your own happiness. This is the book we've all been waiting for. (Dr Julie Smith, author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?)
In this eye-opening and important new book, Ali Abdaal flips the conventional narrative on productivity: accomplishing important things is not about creating more efficient systems but instead about cultivating a deeper energy for your work. This really got me thinking! (Professor CAL NEWPORT, Georgetown University, author of Deep Work and Digital Minimalism)

Well thought out, clear and doable 👍

This is a tight-written book of well-thought-out examples.

Ali begins with the notion of “play” to set the scene for a view of productivity that is “doable” rather than task-driven.

The way Ali manages to be “relatable” in his delivery of this book and all his work makes the concepts he constantly shares easier to digest and practice in real life.

You’ll feel lighter about your life after this book whether it is your first productivity read or your millionth!

A Good book

i enjoyed listening to it, but if you consume all Ali' content on Youtube, you will find a lot of redundancy and probably you don't need to buy this book, unless you want everything in one place.

The second half of the book contained the most tips and insights

I’m a big fan of Ali as I’ve been watching his YouTube channel since he was a doctor in Cambridge. His content online is really packed with value. Past content of his inspired me to start a website and to read so many of his book recommendations.

Now for the book review. The first half read like an academic paper. I felt like his writing could have been more engaging but the content was good. The last half seemed to flow better and the advice and tips in this half were valuable. This book has a lot of good advice and insights and I would recommend. Definitely looking forward to reading more books by Ali Abdaal.

This could change your life

Ali draws on his years of productivity research and experiments on what has worked for him. In such a sincere and positive way. This will sit alongside other great works including Atomic Habits and Deep Work. Great listen, great lessons, and very practical. Will revisit to apply acutely to my life. I actually bought the physically copy too which I very rarely do!
