Description
I’ve been a fan of today’s guest for several years and have probably watched over 100 of his YouTube videos. So, when the good folks over at Readwise reached out about making an introduction, I was elated. I’m talking about the world’s most-followed productivity expert, otherwise known as the one and only Ali Abdaal. Ali has written a brand new book that was released this past December, and I am delighted to feature it, and my chat with Ali, in this week’s episode. That book is called Feel Good Productivity: How to Do More of What Matters to You. It’s already appeared on a few bestseller lists and, at last check, already has over one thousand reviews on Amazon. Go Ali! We think that productivity is all about hard work, Ali says. That the road to success is lined with endless frustration and toil. But what if there’s another way? Ali, though, 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. Armed with Ali’s insights, you won’t just accomplish more. You’ll feel happier and more fulfilled along the way.
