In this special episode of Deep Dive, I'm being interviewed by renownd psychologist and author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? Dr Julie Smith. We'll be talking all about my brand new book Feel-Good Productivity and we discuss the writing process, the insights you can expect from picking up a copy, and all of the research into productivity and wellbeing that went into creating this book. It was strange to be on the other side of the desk, but I hope this conversation gives you a glimpse of what's to come in Feel-Good Productivity. I'm so excited to be sharing this book with you all ❤️ Sponsored by Huel - go to https://www.huel.com/deepdive and with your first order you’ll get a free t-shirt and shaker.
