Lewis Howes
About this episode

We often equate productivity with grueling hard work and relentless effort, but Ali Abdaal is about to flip that script. In Feel-Good Productivity, he reveals a refreshing and uplifting approach to success, one that's rooted in joy and well-being rather than stress and grind.

Ali Abdaal is a former doctor turned YouTuber, podcaster, entrepreneur and author. He's been creating YouTube videos for over 7 years and has a following of almost 5 million. Ali became intrigued by the science of productivity while juggling the demands of medical training at Cambridge University with building his business. While working as a doctor in the UK's National Health Service, Ali started to document his journey towards living a healthier, happier, more productive life online. In the years since, Ali's evidence-based videos, podcasts and articles about the human mind have reached hundreds of millions of people all around the world.
