This program is read by the author.

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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

I'd say half of that is borrowed content from other books. $20 for 120 pages of content th......more

I agree that feeling good is vital for us to move on. The book shows how to energise, unblock and sustain.

We can identify and overcome obstacles that prevent you from being productive, such as distractions a......more

Goodreads review by Paola on December 31, 2023

Disappointed to hear within the beginning of the book that they misattributed the discovery of DNA helix structure to Watson and Crick. It was Rosalind Franklin who discovered the helical structure, they obtained her lab reports without her knowledge and got all the credit. This book was marketed as......more

Goodreads review by PJ on January 16, 2024

2.5 - closer to 2 than 3 Wanted to love it because I do enjoy Ali’s online presence but just couldn’t get there. I had already found the topic to be a bit nebulous and bland, but wanted to give it a shot. It seems rather obvious that yes, do stuff you enjoy doing and skirt the rest. Do we really need......more
