Feel-Good Productivity

How to Do More of What Matters to You

Summary

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'Ali is the master of productivity.' Steven Bartlett, creator of Diary of a CEO

A happier way to get things done – without the stress, boredom or burnout.

Do you ever feel like your productivity is coming at the expense of your mental health? That the more you accomplish, the worse you feel about it?

If so, you’re not alone. For generations, we’ve been told that the route to productivity is through harder work. The trouble is, endless hard work doesn’t just make us miserable – it makes us less productive too.

Dr Ali Abdaal has found a healthier, happier approach to productivity. He knows that the secret to productivity and success isn’t endless 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. Drawing on cutting-edge science and vivid real-life stories, he introduces the simple steps anyone can take to feel better – and, along the way, achieve more of the things that matter to you.

You won’t just get more done. You'll feel happier and more fulfilled as you go.
