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 and 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 audiobook, Ali reveals how the science of feel-good productivity can transform your life. He introduces the three hidden "energizers" 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 fulfillment. 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.

Reviews for Feel-Good Productivity

[Joey G. · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I just started this book during the beginning of the new year, and it was just perfect timing. The book talks about the types of ways we use to achieve goals. Most of us use methods out of fear. He talks about the reasons why we try to achieve goals and more great methods I haven't heard about anywhere else. This book is loaded with new fresh ideas!

[Jacob Waldo · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Fresh new take on some classic productivity principles along with new, often counterintuitive, guidance supported by research. Highly approachable. Should be required reading for college prep classes.
