In Ask, he brings you a powerful method called The Ask Approach™, based on a simple premise: that tapping into what other people truly think, know, and feel is a game-changing superpower.

To date, Ali’s evidence-based videos, podcasts and articles sharing insights into the human mind, have reached hundreds of millions of people all around the world.

Dr Ali Abdaal has uncovered an easier, happier path to success. Drawing on decades of psychological research, he has found that the secret to productivity and success isn't grind - it's feeling good. If you can make your work feel good, then productivity takes care of itself.


    In his revolutionary book, Feel Good Productivity: How to Do More of What Matters to You, Ali reveals how the science of feel-good productivity can transform your life. He introduces the three hidden 'energisers' that underpin enjoyable productivity, the three 'blockers' we must overcome to beat procrastination, and the three 'sustainers' that prevent burnout and help us achieve lasting fulfilment. He recounts the inspiring stories of founders, Olympians, and Nobel-winning scientists who embody the principles of Feel-Good Productivity.

  • As Adrienne reflects on 6 years of the Power Hour, we are going to share some of our favourite episodes from the archives.


    Today we're sharing an episode from April 2024 - with the excellent Mo Gawdat and Alice Law.


    From the show notes...

    Join Adrienne as she talks to the brilliant minds Mo Gawdat and Alice Law about their new book Unstressable.


    Mo Gawdat is an engineer. What most of us see as insurmountable problems he sees as systems overloads to tackle and solve. Unstressable breaks stress into inputs and effects, classifying human stressors as: stress to the mind, stress to emotions, stress to the body, and stress to the soul. Once classified, Gawdat and co-author Alice Law show readers how stress can be predicted―and once predicted, prevented.


    Unstressable illuminates for readers how most of us deal with the unpleasant, anxiety-producing and even miserable or tragic events in our lives: stress is always a by-product, leading directly to inability to cope, health problems and cratered confidence. Gawdat and Law guide readers to both heart centred and science-based solutions.

  • Continuing Adrienne's look back at some of her favourite episodes of the Power Hour, we look at the brilliant episode with Dr Helen O'Neill, founder of Hertility.


    From the show notes...

    Dr Helen is the co-founder and CEO of Hertility, and is a lecturer in reproductive and molecular genetics and a leading expert in reproductive science. She has a Masters in Prenatal Genetics and Fetal Medicine and a PhD in Stem Cell Biology from UCL. Her research focuses on pre-implantation embryo development and the use of CRISPR genome editing to assess understanding and treatment of disorders of infertility.


    You can follow Dr Helen @dr.helenoneill and Hertility @hertility_health


    Why Hertility was born…

    For too long, women have been dismissed by the healthcare system. Their bodies are ’too complicated’ to understand and their health conditions remain ‘elusive’. So, we’re revolutionising reproductive healthcare and putting women front and centre of everything we do.

    By bringing reproductive science out of the lab and into the hands of every single woman worldwide, we’re setting a new standard of scientific rigour and education in female health to nurture the Mother of all movements - one powered by a new generation of women who back their bodies and their life choices.
