Success doesn’t come from suffering. In fact, it’s the opposite: feeling good leads to success.
The principles of feel-good productivity can help anyone achieve more by focusing on what truly motivates them and brings them joy in their work and life.
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, 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.
Positive emotions aren't just a result of success but a crucial ingredient for achieving it. When we feel good, we unlock our capacity for creativity, focus, and resilience, which in turn, allows us to accomplish more and experience greater fulfillment.
This book, Feel Good Productivity proposes a method for incorporating feel-good productivity into your daily life. It is built on three core components: energize, unblock, and sustain. The book also introduces readers to three key energizers: play, power, and people.
PLAY
The Power of Play
Infuse play into your work to unlock creativity and make even mundane tasks more enjoyable. Identify with a “play personality,” like the Collector, the Creator, or the Joker, and approach your work as that persona. By embracing curiosity and reframing failures as opportunities for growth and learning, you can transform your relationship with work.
