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.
