This is an exclusive excerpt from my New York Times bestselling book, Feel-Good Productivity! I recorded the audiobook in a studio in London a few months ago, and it was super fun to be behind the mic. This is an extract from Chapter 2, which is all about the importance of feeling autonomous in your daily life and gaining power back over your work, so that you can unlock true motivation. We'll be releasing more of these chapters week by week, so stay tuned and enjoy :)  📚CHECK OUT MY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING BOOK FEEL-GOOD PRODUCTIVITY 👉AmazonWebsite 🔗 CONNECT WITH ALI📲 Join My Telegram Community🎥 YouTube Channel🐦 Twitter  📸 Instagram  💻 Website👥 Linkedin 📄SHOW NOTES & TRANSCRIPT Visit the website for the transcript and highlights from the conversation - https://aliabdaal.com/podcast/ 🎙 ABOUT THE PODCAST Deep Dive is the podcast that delves into the minds of entrepreneurs, creators and other inspiring people to uncover the philosophies, strategies and tools that help us live happier, healthier and more productive lives.
