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 book, Ali reveals how the science of feel-good productivity can transform your life. He introduces the three hidden 'energisers' 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 guy builds an audience. Someone suggests he writes a book to extract the most money possible from that asset. He looks for an angle to write that book from. This is it. More exploration than authentic or educational. Give it a wide berth. Feels exploitative.
I found this book useful, approachable, and relevant as a beginner. I enjoyed every aspect of the book, and while this is no pioneering piece of writing, all the science has been well-synthesised and this is a genuinely more engaging read than most popular self-help books.
I also watch Ali Abdaal's channel a lot, so maybe that's why this book really resonated with me.
I purchased this book when it was on sale.
The bits of advice provided in the book seemed too basic and if you have read a couple of other productivity/self-help books or have watched a couple of YouTube videos of mainstream productivity gurus then I doubt you would find anything new to add to the table. Coupled with the fact that most of the pop culture references sounded hella lame and forced to me, this book wasn't a very useful one.
