How can we do the most good with our careers, money and lives? And what are the things that we can do right now, to positively impact future generations to come?

What is Deep Dive with Ali Abdaal ?

Dr Ali Abdaal is the worldโ€™s most followed productivity expert and author of Feel-Good Productivity, the brand new book that reveals why the secret to productivity isnโ€™t discipline, itโ€™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.

Aliโ€™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.

Aliโ€™s a firm believer that happiness isnโ€™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.
