About this listen

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)

A great book with actionable steps throughout

I love books that do the hard work to provide solid evidenced based information as the foundation to build out the steps to improve my quality of life. The feel good factor is what drew me to this book and it delivered on its promise. I am looking forward to applying some of the ideas into my planning for the next phase of my life.
Thank you Ali for all you do through your various projects to share valuable insights to make life a lot easier for the rest of us.

Easy to understand

Ali’s hypnotic voice is so genuine and calming, I always feel like he’s talking directly to me, and he just makes sense. He can make often quite complex psychological concepts, seem clear and relatable to your own life. Thanks Ali. This book is excellent.

Nice

The book is fine, though I haven’t found any new concepts for me there. Would probably be a good start for a productivity newbies though :)
Also the voice seems to be slightly weirdly sped up, so I recommend going down to 90% speed 😅 flows better this way

Well thought through

The audiobook is informative and concise with many example studies so I am left with many ideas in mind, and it goes for many walks of life; in hobbies, jobs and school. It also is light and has particular style to follow which maintains its entertainment, it far exceeded what I expected :) though I think it should have a spoiler warning for those who have not read/watched/listened to popular popculture, I had no idea about avatar and was going to watch it but hey ho 😂 Additionally the performer seems to take a deep breath before reading sometimes which is sort of funny? Otherwise great 👌

Easily accessible yet incredibly detailed

As an avid follower of Abdaal on his YouTube channel, hearing that he actually voiced this book was already a big plus. I love how relatable and real Abdaal is and how he manages to inspire and even explain the most detailed psychological intricacies in such an easy to digest manner. I loved following along and I feel very inspired to start my own journey.

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.
