Publisher's Summary

"Abdaal's enthusiastic narration resonates, inspiring listeners to become amateur productivity scientists. Informative, motivational, and entertaining, this audiobook delivers an enlightening perspective on productivity."—AudioFile

This program is read by the author.

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 and 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 audiobook, Ali reveals how the science of feel-good productivity can transform your life. He introduces the three hidden "energizers" 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 fulfillment. 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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

What the critics say

‘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

‘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

‘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?

Got what I needed, not what I thought I needed

As a productivity freak, I purchased this book thinking I would learn about more productivity tips. But the studies and tips shared here made me realize that my overloaded week was leaving me energy-less and just burnt out.

I started implementing small and big changes in my life while listening to Feel-Good Productivity and it has already contributed greatly to my life. I absolutely recommend Ali Abdaal’s book to anyone who consider themselves a hustler.

I was getting Productivity wrong.

I am a long time fan of Ali since 2019. This book is more rigorous in research and science behind productivity which is very different from a general book u will find on a book shelf! The accompanying PDF was wonderful!! I have already used tons of real applicable tools for my new year planning, work, and most importantly my 1/3/5/10 years are super inspired by his book. No doubt he delivers excellent content no matter which format, I would highly recommend you read this book because most likely you are getting productivity wrong, let him explain it to you what the right one is like!!!

Great book

Lots of practical advice that can be used right away.
Thank you for your hard work, Ali!

My take away is “to take longer healthier breaks every 4 hours”.

And “approach a productivity like a scientist” rather than a speculator.
