Watching this feels like a captivating novel come to life! Very much enjoyed every aspect of this, and the effort put into it is apparent and appreciated - thank you ❤x ***edit: didn't read your comment until after posting! Makes total sense now haha

[@Barunx-fc7zy1tf6d]

Sorry for this one sir, Hello Ali, I participated eagerly in the giveaway, reaching out through emails and comments with genuine enthusiasm. The anticipation was high, and I had hoped for a chance to take a step towards my passion. However, not receiving a response has left me feeling disheartened. Despite this, I appreciate the opportunity for the opportunity❤❤❤❤❤❤ I want to express that my feelings of disappointment are not directed at you. I had invested a lot of hope and effort in the giveaway, and it's disheartening not to have received the chance I was eagerly anticipating. I understand it's a part of the process, and I'll continue to support your content. Thank you sir ❤❤

[@Han_80]

Brilliant animation! Amazing work.

[@Gh-id1nl]

I love it thanks for Sharing your experience and for the cartoon .

[@meneerboontje9853]

This is a video that everyone needs to experince, best video ever to get back on track!

[@ColinandSamir]

Love this

[@khadijahtijani8202]

As a doctor with multiple experiences of burnout, it took me so long to realize that working harder doesn't make me feel better. I watched some colleagues working less and getting more done within a shorter time, not to mention getting more noticed and appreciated. Then I looked at myself and wonder why I was always burnt out: I needed to work on my mood! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and discoveries. I have been watching your videos for over 2 years and I'm more than convinced to buy your book today!

[@traumareleasebodywork]

All find many caregivers struggle with burnout. Always a good reminder that we have to care for ourselves the most ❤️

[@nataliesoutlet]

Wow so different for you Ali. Love seeing your experimenting ✨

[@Hellooitsmemattt]

Amazing animation, really high quality. As someone who has just had a jaw operation 3 days before Christmas, the amount of work and effort doctors and nurse put in is just incredible. They are an inspiration to all of us.

[@CalvinWhitney-yo9iw]

*Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see as wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work. 🤑🤑*

[@PatrickNora-cx7tk]

Well I must say people are scared because there are so many unprofessional brokers out there.

[@Fredera-rj1nl]

I think I'm blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Faith Reece

[@SergioSarah-ev6lp]

​@@Fredera-rj1nl Writing her has been the best decision I have made

[@SergioSarah-ev6lp]

funny enough, a friend that I referred to her received $5,050 profit after 7 days of investing.... I became jealous.. Lol😂

[@LindaCalvin]

Since meeting Expert Faith, I now agree that with an expert managing your portfolio, the rate of profit is high, with less risk.

[@honey3762]

Cute blender animation! It actually looks good, I’m so used to KZbin channels putting no effort into hiring a real animator to make animations and the result is often me wishing they would just stick to talking with no visuals. I’m a big animation fan so I’m very grateful you put real effort into finding someone to make this work! This looks good!

[@midseptembr951]

I’m so glad I found this channel six years ago. One of the only creators that cares about the quality for the audience's sake❤

[@viviankwok89]

I'm so happy for you, Ali! This is a major milestone. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration.

[@JustcallmeTags]

This was so good! Your foresight to create videos from chapters in your book is genius. Taking notes while cheering you on!

[@clairebremner5437]

This is so true! When applying for new jobs it has been so important that I am feeling good and in a positive mindset because it's the only time those actions have been successful, rather than from a place of fear and scarcity.

[@sripadak]

Ali, I’ve been following you since 2020, seen the process of the book and I’m halfway reading the book right now, and it has already transformed my mind. This book is so insightful, so many experiments to try out and reasons why the experiments work, so good!! all productivity nerds need to give this book a read!

[@lorilocascio859]

Thank you for putting this work out in the world, especially in so many different formats. There is no way I am listening to YOU speeded up. Your voice and cadence are perfect as you speak from your heart. You make the world a better place for sure.

[@Leo2005]

This is literally movie quality, not only the animation is GODLY, but the sound design is just PERFECT, keep it up! Love the new style ❤❤

[@aldie4317]

This is abseloutly mind blown, because for all my life i thought that only by grinding is the key of succes and this will change my perspective forever

[@RyKaiYin]

As somebody who's currently listening to the audiobook version of Feel-Good Productivity, this video was perfectly timed! Also, the animation and editing in this video are incredible! :)

[@Tahaziyayedek58]

You are one of the most sophisticated and brilliant KZbinr/content creator I watch, and 1million percent the very best in finance. I appreciate all of your content thank you for *VRI TOKEN* much love from Chicago

[@veronicavids]

The animation was so fun 💕 Thanks Ali for always posting insightful videos! I always get so excited to watch anything you post

[@robmedinaXXI]

I'm absolutely enthralled by the exceptional animation in this video! I'm curious, how did you come up with the idea for this unique style of animation? Also, were there any other videos or animations that inspired you to create it this way? The book has been a transformative experience in my life, offering simple yet profound insights that are easy to implement. Your approach is not just educational but truly inspiring. It's clear to see the impact your work is making, and I can personally attest to its positive influence on my life. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@artdoesntlikeme]

As doctor who is spending his internship era I can confirm that this part of medicine school is pretty hard and time consuming you work day and night in hospital and have a really short time to relax but now I think I know what should be done to actually pass this really hard part Thank you for your help ☺️🙏

[@ivinitmittal]

Half way through your book, and I love how simple and implementable it is! Also your narration for the audio book is on point! 🙌🏻

[@mehreenkhan20]

This should be used to teach professors on how to teach. You’ve made the concepts so engaging and interesting that I stayed engaged throughout. I love the narrative style and use of images and symbols. I’d love to see more videos like this. Thanks Ali! Your videos have had a profound impact on my mindset as a student.

[@RusiruGunaratne]

I used to watch these videos at 2X speed. But I stopped it recently and started enjoying the videos rather than just grabbing the concepts. Now I have more time to enjoy myself and I am trying to integrate Feel Good philosophy to my life❤

[@kaavyaganesh7568]

Ur study playlist literally changed my life and it was not even hard to follow. Thank u so much Ali . I'm one of those grateful students benefitted by ur vids. Cant wait to listen to the audiobook . Thanks !!

[@isalutfi]

*Yes new video! Hi Ali! Glad to see the notification. I love the animation and illustration. Thank you for sharing about how to achieve more while working less. Keep up! 🥪🍵*

[@balajprasanna]

The transition from @3:52 and the smooth animation to the segway for the book, perfectly thought of and well executed. ❤

[@joshuachew24]

love this and what you're doing! these videos have really helped boost my productivity and understanding of how the world works!

[@TechDave]

i immediately purchased the audible version: been waiting patiently for your book, no doubt it will be utterly worth the wait!

[@syedafathima5915]

Been listening to your audiobook and thoroughly enjoying it! The strategies to think through tasks and change our approach to make our lives better are brilliant. Loved the book, thanks Ali 🧡

[@alireza1505]

I think this video was the best thing that happened to me in 2024. I was going crazy with all my tasks and stuff to do with a lot of pressure, Thank you Ali. I hope you know what an amazing impact you have on everyone !!

[@Melodoniak]

I'll be completing residency in under 2 months. I'm convinced that putting yourself first and feeling good is the cure to physician burnout and the lack of empathy patients often cite in their interactions with us

[@DICTRA]

Omg, @ali I know the feeling, been a registered nurse for over 23 years! No breaks, not even a toilet break, long 12 hour shifts, leave to go to work in the dark, come back home in the dark, no wonder my vit D levels were always low! It's rough on the battle field! That's why I'm leaving the NHS next year to concentrate on my healthcare business! And I've started my KZbin channel I've done my time, but nursing will always be my vocation ❤

[@sunnyetheridge4178]

So proud of how far you have come! As a former floor nurse, I understand completely about being overwhelmed. You inspired me to possibly use a joke at the beginning of meetings to create some positive energy.

[@savingwithvane9093]

I truly enjoyed this video and how u shared ur personal experience as a doctor feeling burn out and then ur transformation as you found out about feel good productivity and using that to improve the way u felt in ur work environment 👍 I believe this will be really effective in social work profession bc its demading w lots of caseloads to handle and finding life/work balance 😊

[@HamedAdefuwa]

Best video in many years Ali, the past few years I haven't enjoyed your videos but still pop back often to check on you. This one was really good!

[@faithomebije]

I’ve been rethinking ways to implement systems into my life, but also a way of life. This video sparked a lot of positive emotions and I can’t wait to get the book. Thank you Ali 😊

[@Sugar81007]

Those were the most productive 17 minutes of my life..and realistic approach to actually be productive...thank you so much sir ...💜✨ Am 17 and I wish to learn psychology in future..☺️

[@glbshka]

Oh my God, this is brilliant. You changed my life so much, that without any hesitation, I stoped doing everything and binged your book and its audible as soon as they came out. But this animation is just another level of feel-good

[@joeyfernandez86]

Your video was right on timing as I struggle to find motivation and be more productive. Thanks, Ali.

[@ToothedOut]

I got the book and made my way through it in under 5 days. Absolutely brilliant. Really helped get me moving forward on the right things. Cheers Ali!

[@vanessaprincesssa]

Wow, Ali, this video explaining the core concepts of your book is not only really well done, but the information that you share with us is life-changing! Can’t wait to read your book! ❤

[@iamrebeccaanne]

I love this! Thanks Ali! Been a quiet applier of your advice. I like every video I see! 👍 Thanks a ton for you and your team.🎉🎉

[@NiagaraThistle]

Dang...I should have opted for the Audio book. Great jonb on the Book Ali! It was a great read and I have been trying to work through some of the exercises as I recreate my routines to defeat chronic procrastination and find a way to bring "enthusiasm" to my daily tasks that otherwise make me miserable. Thanks for all the advice you share and good luck on the changes you are making to "work less and enjoy life more"

[@Akacoconutcrab]

Recently, I learned that the ‘feel good productivity’ and ‘the winner effect’ are based on the same principle: the better and more confident you feel, the more it impacts the success rate of your behavior

[@camitag7075]

Absolutely loved this video Ali thanks for your great advice and hardwork❤

[@melodyq6535]

I am so glad I found this video. It has made understanding the concept of Feel-Good Productivity so much easier for me. I can't wait to see more videos like this one in the future.This was incredibly helpful.Thx Ali.

[@user-ib2of8jh7q]

thank you for your valuable insights. not everyone has been so accurate in describing how to do well in a work field. watching this video made me feel very good. I'll make sure to add your book to my reading list this year. thank you for saving me from going through a cycle of do more get less😁😊

[@dannymarquis4574]

I got anxious at the beginning with your story and then I missed your face 🥰 … but, as usual, you give something so interesting and profound ! Thank uuuuu 🙏🏽 You’re the best ❤️

[@Arrow_Yogesh24]

Absolutely love this video and the way you put it together in such detail. Looking forward to reading the book!

[@spsxssd86]

Loving the new animations. You're an absolute inspiration. I'm an educator and appreciate your content!

[@special7679]

Wow this is actually really good. I've read the introduction of the book before I watched the video, the video really helped me understand more of what you were talking about, I wish more authors can do this sort of thing it would really help understand a book.

[@shamusd]

I don’t comment a lot on videos, although I really should, but this was incredible. Love the story behind it all. Can’t wait to read/listen to the book! Such an inspiration. 🎉 congrats Ali

[@umairsystem]

I think this would be the first video on the channel that sumed up the entire plot in an animated storytelling way. Amazing it is.

[@J.P.Tech.01]

Love this, Ali. I have both your audiobook and Kindle version, this is a great addition to them. Thank you for your work

[@asofeiy]

i can't describe how much i love the way you explain things ali

[@moonshinehu2065]

Oh, shit. I have been following this channel for a while, and listen to this occasionally as a background sound when I am working in the office. First comment ever. For some reason, this video wanna makes me cry. So touched.

[@Veraalim]

It's very true, from the core actually. I've been through the similar things and I didn't realized until Ali post this amazing video. I should try to feel good instead of just feeling there is something wrong with my current life...

[@calima_productions]

For some strange reason my amazon shipment of the book is delayed until end of the month. Yet, the insights you gave in the last few videos really started to change my life. I don‘t know, if you will read this, but I just wanna say „thank you“ on this way. I am quitting my hated part-time job, which I am doing since 5 years since I got to university, to do something that „really matters“ to me (I am studying Special Education Needs, so therefore I will be teaching a school class in my new job) Greatest of Thanks from Germany, Manuel.

[@radish550]

"Success doesn't lead to feeling good. Feeling good leads to success". This is priceless.

[@EnglishBros]

Great tips! Setting priorities, delegating, and taking breaks boost productivity and prevent burnout. This motivational video has simple but effective strategies for working smarter.

[@edsetya]

Love this! Thank you Ali for sharing this counter intuitive truth!

[@LaVidadeSaraRivera]

Ali, this is so different and creative, I'd be interested in seeing the making of. Thank you for consistently inspiring us!

[@leilasafari1917]

I appreciate how you organize your script, making your thoughts and talks easy to follow.👍 The introduction of animations in your videos caught my attention, even though I had become accustomed to seeing your face. 🎤The video subtly suggests that the book has an audio version, which was encouraging. I've just started reading it on my Kindle though. Keep up the good work, Doctor!🎉🎉

[@BadChaka94]

Thanks for this video! I've been meaning to pick up your book since it came out, but hadn't got around to it yet. This was great, and your ideas resonate very strongly with how I think and the things I've noticed about when I'm most productive. Buying the book now and plan to work through it this weekend!

[@drAbhinavKr]

I've been working as a junior doctor in the UK and this hospital experience has literally been the same for me.

[@LokusofControl]

I feel like a lot of this information is extremely useful for people who already have developed a lot of discipline. The problem is most people don’t have this skill developed. Many people are going to watch this and use feeling good as a requirement and excuse to not take action on improving their lives. But if this fits the right person it can be extremely useful.

[@prajwalchandak]

Animation artist deserve a raise. Camera angles sfx all on point. 🔥

[@priscillakagwa5076]

Wow, I love every single bit of this video. The stunning animation/visuals, seamlessly integrated storytelling, and your captivating voice create a perfect blend. Your delivery is spot on! I'm convinced to add 'Feel Good Productivity' to my reading list. Moreover, consider me your newest subscriber!😃

[@Will_Ross]

Purchased the book this week and already half done. Amazing work Ali! Great video as well 👍

[@piyush-singhania]

The narration and the animation felt so good. I think you just created a new way for going though a book.

[@jonathanp___________3606]

Wow. Your journey in the first part of the video is so much like my journey through engineering school. For me, grad school was hard, and that's where I first seriously questioned the idea that productivity had to be a hard slog.

[@colinb8332]

Two years ago, I really was struggling to get back into shape. I would force myself to go to the gym and had a workout plan in my head but just couldn’t ever finish it like I wanted. Nor did it feel good when I did. I would listen to David Goggins and other motivational gurus to help. Eventually I just stopped going. A couple of months later, I randomly signed up for a Muay Thai class. I instantly fell in love. It was hard work, but loved the community of people in the classes. Completely changed my life. Sometimes you just need to step back and re-asses where you are going, and if there’s a better direction to take. You can’t hard work your way to happiness. It has to be deliberate action.

[@s.q8960]

Reporting final yr MBBS student from Pakistan, great video...keep growing... Thanku for this new perspective

[@manpreet0784]

Love this video, Ali. Your content is outstanding too, as usual. Thanks so much for making me feel-good while chasing my goals. 🙂

This was not only insightful, it was satisfying and beautiful to watch

[@hamdaabdulrauf5828]

I am really proud of how far you've come! thanks for sharing what you learn

[@NGFF7]

THIS WAS GENIUS! If this was what I think it was….which is partially you reading your preface or introduction to the book, while making a high quality to promote it - WOW! This is how you do it. Ordering it now! 🤘🏽Hell yeah Ali - way to provide value and promote your product!

[@abdullahmalikpk]

Just got the book today in Pakistan and was reading and here you gave the visual book loving it.❤

Wow love the voiceover and also the new form of video. Always helpful 😊 Keep inspiring

[@akvilio]

Cute visuals! I’m glad I listened to this part already in your book (audio), so no spoilers for me 😅. Awesome book BTW (half way through)❤❤❤

[@meneerboontje9853]

This is a video that everyone needs to experince, best video ever to get back on track!

[@rozfitrisaid2180]

You are so impactful! This is amazing! 👏🤩 Thank you so much, Ali. I've learned a lot from you 😍🌹

[@clara3510]

Great video Ali. Very motivated. I got your audiobook! I am a self taught artist wanna be a KZbinr, and I tried to learn and do so many things at the same time. I've been feeling down on energy lately and feel unmotivated. The discipline and habits make me stick to the tasks and get moving, but I am not happy. Now I know I should put positive emotion into my action, I gonna apply it

[@fominasha]

Wow!!! You just keep getting better and better!!!

[@EkaterinaGolubeva-pr9ih]

Your smile is contagious 😂🤩 I find this video the most inspirational on your channel so far ❤ Just purchased the book !

Video quality and editing is one of the best in the world ❤

[@RasigaPriya-iy9wk]

Quality and editing is really good !! loved this ! i am now gonna buy this book ! thanks ali sir !

[@sd26362]

I very much enjoy your videos! As someone who is probably old enough to be your mother, my numerous life experiences confirm your belief in the power of positive emotions. Emphasizing the positive in my life has resulted in my experiencing all of the benefits which you describe. It is wonderful to see my conclusions about the power of positive thinking and energy confirmed by science. Keep up your great work! You are having a powerful and positive impact on your audience!

[@Sassy-Sam]

I’m also old enough to be Ali’s mother and I too, enjoy his content. 😊

[@andrewyudha2108]

Love this video Ali, and I'm glad I have an access to buy your book here in Indonesia. It's a great book to start this 2024 ❤

[@JayFriedrichs]

These animations were so dope! Loved it

[@Brooksterr92]

Bravo Ali! I will most certainly be getting your book now!

[@dilloncarter6310]

I never comment on videos, but this was such an incredible concept. I would love to see more videos like this!
