The Sunday Times and New York Times Bestseller ' 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 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.

If you are stuck in a job you hate, or are finding it hard to get up enthusiasm for tasks, then Feel-Good Productivity might be the book for you.' Financial Times
