DR JULIE SMITH, author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?

A much-needed antidote to hustle culture, this book is a reality check for any ambitious person who wants to build sustainable success. It offers the most practical approach to productivity that no one says yet all of us need to hear

MARK MANSON, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

Very good. Ali trained as a doctor and really researches his stuff . . . If you are stuck in a job you hate, or are finding it hard to get up any enthusiasm for tasks, then Feel-Good Productivity might be the book for you . . . Ali does not suggest that we blindly aim to do more — or try to become much more efficient. That way, unhappiness and burnout lie.

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!

RYDER CARROLL, author of The Bullet Journal Method

Ali Abdaal's new productivity book is the best I've read this year. Everyone should feel this good about their work . . . a book that I genuinely think everyone should read . . . Instead of looking for something that will tell you how to organize, filter, manage, and check off all the to-dos that have piled up, Abdaal's book is different: It teaches you how to love what you're doing and do what you love. That, it turns out, is the most helpful productivity tip I've read all year.

How to Do More of What Matters to You

The secret to productivity isn’t discipline. It’s joy. 
 
We have all been told that the secret to productivity is simple: work harder. The trouble is, endless hard work doesn’t just make us unhappier – it makes us less productive too. 
 
Here, Dr Ali Abdaal draws on the latest scientific research to show that the most productive people aren’t those with the strongest discipline, or even the best habits: they’re the ones who find meaning in the tasks before them. Along the way, he sketches out a healthier, happier path to accomplishing what matters – one rooted in discovering joy in everything you do.
