Ali’s cheerful style, positive approach, and well-researched content have made him a trusted voice when it comes to productivity.

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.

Life changing for me and my mum brain! :)

I am a fan of all of Ali's work but this episode is the first one I think is going to change my life the most and so I am compelled to write my first review and say thank you to both of you. As a mum of a toddler I don't have a lot of spare time to myself so finding time to read and focus on learning anything new is especially difficult. I have gotten into the habit of listening to audiobooks and podcasts but am now very excited at the prospect of expanding my listening options to virtually anything and everything! I also never really thought about the benefits of increasing my listening speed but can now see the time saving is priceless (I comfortably increased to 1.3x just in the space of this episode and am keen to see how much further I can push it over time). I can't wait to check out Speechify and for part 2 of this episode! I also love how Cliff puts himself out there to meet new people so if either of you ever plan to travel to Central Australia let me know!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
