Feel-Good Productivity

Feel-Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal offers a refreshing approach to achieving success and getting more done by fundamentally changing how we view productivity. Instead of promoting the usual grind and relentless discipline, this revolutionary book puts joy at the centre of being productive. Ali Abdaal, renowned as the world's most-followed productivity expert, argues that the secret to outstanding productivity isn't rooted in hard work, but in feeling good about what you do.

Dr Abdaal delves deep into decades of psychological research and his own experience to reveal an easier and happier path to success. Drawing on inspiring stories of founders, Olympians, and Nobel Prize-winning scientists, he exemplifies how embracing feel-good productivity can transform lives. Throughout the book, Ali introduces three key components—hidden 'energisers' that make work enjoyable, 'blockers' that need to be overcome to beat procrastination, and 'sustainers' that prevent burnout and aid in achieving lasting fulfilment.

For instance, Ali explains that by identifying and leveraging the hidden energisers within our daily tasks, we can make our work more enjoyable and fulfilling. He uncovers practical strategies to defeat common productivity blockers such as procrastination and distractions, making it easier for readers to stay on track. Additionally, the book explores effective sustainers that help maintain high levels of energy and motivation over the long term, preventing burnout and ensuring continued progress toward our goals.

What sets Feel-Good Productivity apart from other productivity guides is its actionable advice for integrating joy into your everyday routines. By implementing simple yet transformational changes, readers can achieve more while also experiencing greater happiness and satisfaction in their lives. Whether you are a student, a professional, or anyone striving for better productivity, Ali’s insights offer a roadmap to not just accomplish more, but to enjoy the journey as well.
