About this audiobook

The Sunday Times and New York Times Bestseller

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.

'The master of productivity.' Steven Bartlett, creator of Diary of a CEO

'The book we've all been waiting for.' Dr Julie Smith, author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before?

'Will guide you to accomplish more than you ever dreamed of.' Jay Shetty, author of Think Like a Monk and 8 Rules of Love

I personally like this book, as it rings close to my preferred style of working. However, I would say nothing ground breaking about it. You can tell the books were inspired by other top shelf productivity books such as Atomic Habits, 4-hour Workweek, Building A Second Brain, etc to name a few. Most of the key ideas and experiments are already covered in his Youtube channel, so the heavy price tag is not properly justified. However, personally this book is my overall theme for 2024 - making myself feel happy, making myself feel good.

Excellent sharing of experience backed with research and examples. Useful sharing of "How". Listening to this book reminded me of similar concepts learned in psychology with different perspectives and applications in different domains. 👍
