Dr Ali Abdaal is the world’s most followed productivity expert and author of Feel-Good Productivity, the brand new book that reveals why the secret to productivity isn’t discipline, it’s joy. In his podcast, Deep Dive, Ali sits down with inspiring creators, thinkers, entrepreneurs and high performers to help listeners build lives that they love.
Ali’s cheerful style, positive approach, and well-researched content have made him a trusted voice when it comes to productivity. The internet means that we have access to more knowledge and information than ever before - but it can also be overwhelming. So, Ali and his expert guests focus on simple, scientifically proven, and actionable steps you can take to make real changes in your life.
Ali’s a firm believer that happiness isn’t the result of success - in fact, happiness is the key to success in the first place. Ali made this discovery while working as a doctor in a chaotic hospital ward. In the past, hard work had been the answer to every obstacle in his life. But no amount of hard work was going to combat panic and burnout.
So, Ali dedicated himself to figuring out a new approach to productivity - one that focuses on enjoying the journey and working towards truly meaningful goals. Deep Dive, with its authentic and engaging conversations, will give you all the insights you need to do just that.

BONUS EPISODE: The Ultimate Productivity Booster (Chapter 9 Feel-Good Productivity)
This is an exclusive excerpt from my New York Times bestselling book, Feel-Good Productivity! This final excerpt from chapter 9 of the book is about how doing what matters to you is the ultimate energiser and productivity booster and how you can find what matters to you.
I explore the science of motivation, and how in addition to intrinsic motivation, there are 3 forms of extrinsic motivation that move us.
It’s widely known that when we’re intrinsically motivated to do something we’re more effective and energised in doing it, and extrinsic rewards can make us less motivated to do something for its own sake. Well, that has been proven to not be exactly the case.

BONUS EPISODE: Recharge Your Batteries With Feel-Good Tasks (Chapter 8 Feel-Good Productivity)
This is an exclusive excerpt from my New York Times bestselling book, Feel-Good Productivity! Chapter 8 of the book is about recharging the proverbial batteries: how to rest in a way that energises you.
I explore the ways we might think we're "resting" like doom-scrolling or binge-watching TV, and how these activities are actually draining our feel-good emotions.
I also tell you how to recharge by engaging in activities that make us feel good, and the 4 ways that creative tasks unlock our energy.
We'll be releasing more of these chapters week by week, so stay tuned and enjoy :)

Customer Reviews
Big Fan
I’ve been watching Ali since his days at Cambridge giving study advice and iPad Pro tutorials. I love this channel and it is everything I hoped it to be. I just listened to the episode with Tintin his YouTube Producer and I found another way to identify with this podcast. The employer/employee dynamic is so interesting and I loved how Ali asked some hard questions and was so open to the feed back. I think the audience would get so much value from more interviews with Tintin and other employees and how Ali juggles being their friend and boss. I think a lot of us do not have a template for what a good, healthy, thriving supervisor/employee relationship should look like. Thanks for all you and your team do.
Great Podcast
Really love this podcast and everything Ali shares. I found him in YouTube and this is a raw, real and insightful way to continue to learn from him.
What a gem Ali Adbaal is!
I cannot say enough about Ali Abdaal! I found him on YouTube a few days and I have watched him every single day at work, since!!! I feel like I know him already.
So, when I found his Podcast… that was it… ready to get him tattooed on me. No, I’m kidding, but really!! Such an inspiration and has truly made me look at my life differently. I never thought I’d be able to leave my current job and still haven’t yet, because I’m just getting started… but I believe his encouragement and words of wisdom will lead me in the right direction into making better choices in my life to make Korin happy. I now believe in myself and literally didn’t believe in myself before Ali!
