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.

    Feel good and productivity
    Ali makes all those words “feel good” and “productivity” look so good together. I have recently discovered this podcast and I look forward to the next episodes on my morning walks. Whether it’s the topics, realistic call to action or Ali’s choice of words while sharing his stories, I am always all ears about it.

    I’m totally enjoying the genuine conversations you have with some of your most recent guests. I think that the shift that you had in your podcast from educating to actually having real conversations where you personally have vested curiosity have so much more value! Thank you!

    Podcast for serious learners.
    I’ve listened to a number of podcasts to get information on becoming a better entrepreneur. This is the first podcast that’s felt like information and not just entertainment. The episodes are long because they have to be. (Hit that 1.5x) It’s worth listening all the way through. Thank you Ali for sharing valuable, practical information with us. I’ll be a guest on this podcast someday soon.

    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!

    An amazing podcast full of valuable info
    Ali is one of my favorite creators out there and his podcast does not disappoint. Conversations are interesting, and Ali always breaks the interviews down into actionable insights you can learn from.

    Life Changing Pod
    I found Ali on YouTube and downloaded is Podcast as just some silence filler, but I have found myself thinking about each deep dive topic DAYS after listening to it. Definitely worth a listen, some even worth two!
  • Eclipse_sans

    Definitely a Good Podcast to watch
    One of the best Podcasts I’ve listened to, and it’s helped for all sorts of things.

    Has potential but Ali is a lazy interviewer
    I like ali I really do, found him through Utube. But he does not prepare for his interviews which is a shame because he has good guests. Instead, you can tell he wings it by letting the answers lead to his next questions and then he asks questions that spring into his own mind. He needs to take a lesson from Tim Ferriss who scrupulously prepares, reads and watches everything the guest has published and has a tight outline.

    Make up your mind. It’s not about you
    I want to like Ali. The productivity space he operates in is interesting and I love the people he brings on his shows but every single show always comes back to Ali and how he can’t make up his mind about his own life and career.
  • Ausome134
    One of my favorite podcasts!
    It’s fantastic!
  • aliceinnm
    Insanely Fantastic!
    I find the podcast informative and thought provoking. I appreciate Ali’s way of kindly rephrasing the information into bite sized nuggets for all to appreciate and perhaps even to incorporate into our daily routines. I know I have!

    like a convo with your smart friend
    The broadcast is called a "deep dive" but it is really just a longer conversation. This is a good thing. Some "deep dive" conversations seem designed to make the guest feel uncomfortable or to prove a host’s pet theory on a small, inconsequential, on-off situation. I prefer the conversational style. Sometimes, putting a guest at ease with a natural flow of conversation can lead to a deeper exposition of the guest’s expertise. One of the things that Ali does right is keep his personal situation questions to just the right percentage of the show. Enough so that we can tell he is listening instead of racing through his questions, but not so much that the show become Deep Dive with Ali, starring Ali. Still a little sad that he is not coming to the USA. The media of the USA is unrelentingly negative when compared to other countries so I’m not surprised.

    Been a long time follower of Ali on YouTube. Found this podcast and it is fantastic for my long commute!

    Sound Horrible
    This is a great podcast very interesting but… I looked at the videos on YouTube and the sound is great… and then you have a PODCAST, the media is literally based on sound…. And the sound is horrible. All the money spent on this team should maybe be used to hire someone that will actually take the time to check the levels instead of just exporting the sound from the video…

    Great podcast
    I have been binge listening to all of the episodes.
  • QT McGrue
    Good but the production value could be better
    I’ve listened to the interview with Logan Ury. There were filler phrases and stammers that could have been edited out. At the end, she repeated several of the Q&A before answering. It may have been a way to give herself time to think of an answer, but why not edit those out? There were echoes that could have been edited out. That part with Ali reading the questions from his community went on too long. Overall, it was an interesting conversation but the production value could have been better.
  • Nusrath15
    Very detailed and informative
    His podcast is very nice to watch till the end.

    Ali needs to let his true personality out
    Great podcast. But Ali is too agreeable. Audience has to want to hear a bit of push back now and then rather than pure acceptance of the guest’s claim. Keep up the great work mate

    Real life questions and 100% Practical
    Happened to listen Ali on YouTube. Saw few videos of him and instantly got interested. I listened to this interview in the YouTube. Ali has his practical way of asking questions. The whole interview was an experts talk and WHOSETHEBOSS was insightful to share the process he followed. Well spent time listening and will definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking forward to start a career out of their passion. Thanks for making this Ali.

    Excellent podcast!
    Great work, Ali! I find each episode both interesting and insightful.
  • Danroos455
    GREAT STORIES & QUESTIONS!
    Ali has a way of navigating through the person’s story while also asking questions that he’s generally curious about. He balances sharing his own perspective on the topics of the conversation by letting the guest then respond with their perspective from their experiences / work. In this way Ali is authentically digging for information that he “selfishly” wants to learn, which is a good indicator that other people want to know it as well!
  • jen7jack
    Ali is a Great Interviewer
    The best part of the podcast for me so far is Ali’s questions. He asks the questions that most people who are interested would want to ask. Like, so, how does the whole drop shipping thing work? Then follows up the generic answer with So what site would one actually go to to find a manufacturer? So do you just call them up? 😂 Literally asks everything I would ask if put in his seat. So thorough. Love it. So enjoying the podcasts so far!
