A science-based approach for doing your best work without sacrificing your health or wellbeing — NIR EYAL

What a great book. Ultraproductive is science-backed, actionable, and genuinely transformative — ALI ABDAAL

The only self-help book you’ll ever need: a simple, proven 90-minute method to achieve more and stress less.

How many notifications do you receive a day? How many news articles do you see? How much of your life is lost to scrolling, swiping and endless updates?

Our work-lives have been turned into boundary-less messes by email and Teams. Because of social media, our personal lives never know peace. We’re all trying to keep up without burning out, and being productive is no longer enough; now, we have to be ‘ultra’. But what if the secret to navigating an increasingly hectic world lies not in doing more, but in doing three things differently?

In Ultraproductive, Eric Partaker and Dr. Christian Poensgen reveal the transformative power of the 90-minute method – a simple, science-backed approach that addresses the three areas that matter most for our productivity and well-being.

Sharper focus: 90 minutes of deep, uninterrupted work each day.

Deeper sleep: 90 minutes of deep sleep each night.

Smarter stress: Reset stress cycles every 90 minutes.

Drawing on cutting-edge research and packed with actionable strategies – from reevaluating your relationship with social media to scheduling ‘ultrafocus’ sessions – Ultraproductive is the essential guide to achieving more without burning out. Its simple framework will help you regain control over your time and attention, restore your energy, and build the resilience to thrive in an overstimulated world.

About the Author

Eric Partaker is one of the world’s leading CEO coaches and obsessed with the intersection of entrepreneurship, leadership, and peak performance. In 2023, Favikon ranked Eric as the number 1 creator in the world in Management & Leadership. He draws from his time advising Fortune 50 CEOs at McKinsey, his experience helping build Skype’s multi-billion dollar success story, and the over 100 companies he’s helped scale to date — as well as behavioral science from Stanford University.

Dr. Christian Poensgen is a scientist turned entrepreneur, writer and coach. He holds a PhD (summa cum laude) on the relationship between stress and performance and has spent decades studying how research in neuroscience, physiology and psychology can be translated into practical, real-world systems that help ambitious people perform at a high level without compromising health or well-being. Christian has served as Senior Fellow of the “Future of Work” think tank in the German Federal Parliament, as Co-Founder and Director of the European Center for Digital Competitiveness at ESCP Business School, and as an Agenda Contributor at World Economic Forum.
