Ali Abdaal: Is Hard Work Overrated?

[@amitabhkmitra]

It is absolutely a proud moment to see Ali go from interviewing other authors to getting interviewed for his own book ❤

[@paulacesana8439]

I love Ali Abdaal’s energy. His way to talk inspires me to work and be more productive.

[@armandomlb498]

Gained so much respect for Ali throughout this!

What a wonderful conversation! You guys reminded me of the Shoshin mindset (初心忘るべからず) as my grandmother taught me all the way in my childhood but these years I had forgotten about it. Can’t wait to read your book!

[@StacyWesson]

My two favorite people!!! This was so great. Could listen to you both speak for hours.

[@alaska4joe]

I can not wait for his book to be released.

[@khadidja.polyglotte]

I got to know about Tiago through a video of Ali 😊 so nice to see both of you again together 💙

[@Martindhoang]

Hard work is never overrated. Productivity and working smart is important, but both are required. Work smart and hard

[@Pablo_Trader]

Thanks for this video. It has been very insightful. I'm going to have to get this book.

[@SakeJupiter]

I was looking forward to this video! I can't wait to read Ali's book that comes out on my birthday 🥳.

[@Rayzorbladez]

I'm beginning to think that increasing productivity is a way for employers to squeeze every bit of energy out of you without paying you more.

[@nelsonang]

how about thinking of it as you can do less, produce the same, and the boss doesn’t know you spend half the time skiving?

[@derickjelley7030]

Or you use the extra time to start a side hustle

[@Rayzorbladez]

Assuming you work in situations where not being constantly monitored is feasible. It mostly isn't. That's why they're obsessively pushing for Return to office work.

[@celestethoms]

@@RayzorbladezExactly. My job constantly monitors, takes pictures, etc. Get caught checking your phone even on break, fired.

[@agremis]

One of the purposes of this constant conversation about productivity is to set a "zeitgeist" in order to make us feel always behind. We all are supposed to do more and more efficiently. This serves to the owners of the means of production. Only a handful of sectors can harness these ideas in a healthy way.

[@reynoldsad7]

Awesome interview 👏🏾 🙌🏾 👍🏾 👌🏾

[@dimplegeorge8801]

Ali talking about the Feymann anecdote almost as if Tiago doesn't know about it. I wonder if he knows that Tiago had mentioned this anecdote in his book on second brain which Ali has made a review video about. Either way, both of them are amazing.

[@user-li7gm7gv3v]

Very interesting because there is a hidden paradox. The crux of his book rests on the idea that when gamified productivity because fun and stressful; however, games can often be quite the opposite of fun and stress free (just ask a gamer). So it would be interesting see or if he reconciles this contradiction.

[@RedBlueBB]

Great video! 👍

[@Adventouradri]

So insightful!

[@Spreadthep0sitive]

Great video.

[@lorenaortega7504]

Ali, you seriously need to speak with the UK government to optimise the NHS practices! Less paperwork more productivity.

[@nelsonang]

we feel good when we are productive... we don’t feel good so that we can be productive...

[@Ramdapanda]

Just went to buy the book but it's not available in the Kobo store. Oh well, guess I'll wait

[@toolfinderhq]

These two.

[@zainbm0hamad]

Oh look who is here ❤ keep productive am a follower of yours and yes amazing two 🤩

[@izba-chitalnja]

They are so different

[@PriscilaKlopper]

You three.

[@alaska4joe]

I see you as, “These three”. Thank you for what you do in this space. You make a big impact on my life.

[@loricat5606]

Very nice!

[@j.d.5709]

I'm kind of torn I see where Ali is coming from and he has some very good points BUT at the same time Self-Discipline and Grit are proven to be a BIg part behind a lot of people who have been successful and plenty of evidence to back this. I think it's important to have a healthy balance of both.

[@GrantCrowell]

Maybe we should start calling it FUNDUCTIVITY.

[@ScotttheCyborg]

Hard work, in and of itself, deserves no reward. Consider the classic Far Side cartoon of the fat kid pushing on the door marked pull outside the genius school. He's working very hard pushing that door. What reward does he deserve, and who should provide it? Hard work should be rewarded only when it provides a benefit to the parties providing the reward. Feeling good about the work is a reward we give ourselves, money is a reward given by others.

[@Keisha2024]

😂 I thought that was Elon Musk at first. I was like “ he lost weight” 😂

[@ФазлиддинГуломов-ф9й]

same😂

[@dimplegeorge8801]

The ending was a treat 😂❤

[@FrancoPhysique]

Hey maybe you can tell Ali about how to sell a lifetime product (BASB) and then rug pull, and start charging a subscription fee

[@G0Gamer]

First "lesson" free. Money back guarantee. Free playlists and supportive content on this, his, channel. Why so passive aggressive?

[@Rayzorbladez]

What's all this then?

[@kapmck]

​​​​@@Rayzorbladez I think what @francophysique is expressing is he feels that he was bait and switched. Tiago had a cohort program called BASB. There was an option for a lifetime membership for additional fee. Tiago has changed the business model which means there is an end to the value of the lifetime membership.

[@Jason-sj7xi]

Tiago does BJJ- next KZbin channel.

[@someonewhocares...2513]

You should make sure to label sponsored content as such. luckily youtube isn't stupid.

[@nodworks]

It's not sponsored

[@someonewhocares...2513]

@@nodworks Look at the link he put in the description.

[@6Ligma]

Tiago, your brand is positive productivity. Please distance yourself from these creators of "toxic productivity" !

[@michalakdotnet]

Which part of what Ali’s preaching do you find toxic? Just curious.

[@nelsonang]

feel good is toxic? 🤔

[@PinAda92]

? please do explain

[@Axelpakasii]

I though it was elon musk

[@chrislaudkelly4538]

Is this elon musk ?

[@PriscilaKlopper]

Love Ali, but blame that on the Protestantism is so awful… There's literally a text in the Bible that says we are not saved by works. Also, God rested and settled a whole law for a day to rest hahaha. But well.

[@arnoldfamini9982]

True!
