Podcast: The Daily Stoic
Episode: Ali Abdaal on the Keys to Productivity and Re-Defining Success
Here’s a list of all the books mentioned in this episode, complete with an Amazon buy link and quotes from the episode.
The Obstacle Is the Way
Buy on Amazon"I think one of the benefits for me when I was thinking about writing The Obstacle Is the Way, and I've talked about this before, is that my publisher offered me half what I got for my first book for what was supposed to be my second book."
The Obstacle Is the Way
Buy on Amazon"Honestly, I was thinking about that and all the stoicism-type stuff that I've been drinking the Kool-Aid off ever since I discovered The Obstacle Is the Way."
The E-Myth Revisited
Buy on Amazon"I read a few business books like 'The E-Myth Revisited' which talked about the power of building a system. This isn't just me making stuff up as I go along—systems design is actually a thing."
Law of Attraction
Buy on Amazon"This exercise was in a book called 'Attraction' by someone named Dino. I realized there were a lot of things in the bottom two quadrants—things I don’t like doing but am good at."
The Productivity Game
Buy on Amazon"Obviously, I know about it, but I'm sure listeners would be interested in knowing what you're working on and tell us how the process has been because, to me, that's the most interesting part. Yeah. Um, so the book currently does not have a title; the working title is 'The Productivity Game,' which I'm not a huge fan of."
The Tipping Point
Buy on Amazon"So like, I think if a Malcolm Gladwell book came out today, like 'The Tipping Point' came out today, I think it would not sell five million copies because now people would want to know specifically how to create tipping points."
