There is no hack/no shortcut to achieving your goals. You have to do the hardwork. These people so called GURUs, they start flaunting with their Apple environment devices and tells you what you should do, believe me they just mean to sell their courses. First they will make you think - they will make everything easier for you- 'How to plan', 'How to study', 'How to memorize'...etc. and then when you start following them they will trap you with the thing the want you to see, thing that will make you involved with their videos and make you more comfortable with consuming material rather than doing the actual hardwork. Back in 2019 I also started following them, was trapped, was feeling bad at the begining that why I do not have what they were having or doing. Believe me you need a proper vision, determination and hard work. If you need any support you may watch one or two videos, if it doesn't work talk to therapist. Just don't believe anyone just because they frame themselves as Gurus. --You are listening this from a Doctor who is about to complete his MD within next 6 months, ground his ass to learn coding to make Ai-Based Computer Vision Software for disease diagnosis for his thesis. Remember one thing - If you want to accomplish anything - you need VISION, DETERMINATION and HARD WORK. Period!

Gosh. Thank you SO much for this video. I honestly thought I was the only one who thought there was something a little off about Ali's channel. As a South Asian, I honestly feel like this toxic sense of productivity can be so damaging to our self worth. We have to constantly be doing something to feel like we are worthy or enough. It's something that I am currently fighting and it's one of the reasons I started my YT channel as well.

@@fr0nzp not as much misinterpreted as much as repackaged to become a functional philosophy to nuture the status quo and derive meaning from, without questioning, hardship. It’s oftentimes used to reinforce the idea that one should prevail through hardship, and such action gives both the hardship and the resilience meaning. The problem is, oftentimes this works well to fundament relationships of oppression and exploitation, which is rather convenient. Stoicism searches for meaning in life, that meaning is constructed around an array of values and practices, not just blind endurance, and certainly not meaningless endurance. Stoic philosphy does not encourage the pursuit of financial success at the expense of the present, relationships and etc. Neither it deems unfazed-ness at hardship as a value in onto itself: the stoic demeanor is a reflection of one’s inner tranquility, it doesn’t go the other way around. Of course stoics were not obsessed with productivity. To stoics, their philosophy was most certainly not a method to be a better worker or a more shrewd money maker, quite the contrary: Stoicism is a pre-capitalist philosophy and as such there is no Concept of plus-value or commodity fetishism. The relationship between work and worker was vastly different back then. Books like “the obstacle is the way” do not aclimate or even acknowledge this differences and present stoic demeanor and disposition as the whole philosophy. This books constitute the repackaging and gutting I’m talking about, at large this books are marketed towards entrepreneurs as well as middle and lower classes and the like. They (the books) constitute part of this whole new hustle culture, making stoicism the the validation of suffering and extreme inequality.

As someone who's studying the same course as Ali did (Medicine at Cambridge), I can't help but wonder how big of a factor that course was. Simply put, the uni likes to heap impossible amounts of work on you during term time, so there's a very strong drive to maximize your productivity. Even on my summer holidays, I found myself slipping into the 'must start working' mindset occasionally. Add that onto the stress of being a KZread star, and it's all too possible to see how productivity could have taken a pathological turn for him. Anyways, great video :)

I used to watch some of this guy's videos but at times when he only gave useful advice on how to do certain things. I didn't notice it degenerated to a point where he even skips "boring" or "irrelevant" parts of movies, like wtf.

Generally, following the same line of thinking, it wouldn't be surprising for this guy to announce 'art if useless'. It is frightening to think some people follow his beliefs

Sadly most of the things you said in this video are true. He let other people work as volunteers for managing his discord server and the first one from 2019 ended up dying because the volunteers got no rights for managing the server and weren´t able to reach him and his team members for several months. His content has changed a bit since moving to London as I guess he learned the lesson that productivity itself doesn´t make you happy. But I think creativity is still something missing in his content. Maybe it´s time for a follow up video about him ? One example for missing creativity: In one of his Skillshare videos Thomas Frank intervied him about his video creation process. There Ali admitted that he rarely wrote the scripts himself, but mostly only gives an idea and an employe does most of the work, he only edits a few phrase before filming. Thomas was so shocked about that you could see that it was hard for him to stay polite, but he asked "Where is your creative contribution to the process?" I didn´t know the answer anymore, but honestly it felt like he tried to get out of danger with some very general phrases.

Luckily I don't have that problem so Im okay with A.A. being an 'incomplete' human also. If he hasn't paid others enough that is a problem. The thing that is blatant is he has succeeded by re-selling (repackaged) others work, ie their book 'content'. Its a kind of parasitic ecosystem but hopefully mutually beneficial for the original authors.

Once this guy gets married and has kids, (if that ever happens that is), all this crap he spouts will go out of the window. Imagine watching Frozen with your kid and skipping it to get to the “interesting” bits. “Gee, thanks dad”. Money is such a huge motivator for this guy, he’s quite arrogant as well.

I’ve noticed today how toxic and fake these “productivity” and “self-help” gurus are. I’ve always struggled with social anxiety, and back to the beginning of the year, I was at the lowest point of my life, and I watched plenty of videos of how to overcome social anxiety from those people and just made it worst because what they teach you is what you want to listen, not what’s effective. You can’t just overcome it by changing your mindset, or being positive about yourself, it's a much more deep issue that has plenty of causes, and a step-by-step video just makes you feel more and more depressed because you compare yourself to their perfect and fake lives. One of the things that made me feel better was, besides therapy, quitting watching self-help videos, they are addictive and terrible for our mental health.

I'm going to be brutally honest. Ali Abdaal is a genius, but not the type of Genius you want to be inspired by. He's manipulative with his words and with those around him. As someone who's spoken to both Elizabeth and his brother, I think it should be said that he knows how to pull his words off. I think it's unfair to those around Ali, such as Elizabeth. I know Elizabeth is genuine, but I can't speak for Ali's brother since I've had very few conversations regarding Ali's ethics. Elizabeth is a nice and caring person, it's clear she wants to help people and you can tell that from the time she's spent on her videos. I think it sucks for Elizabeth since she's been wound up in a scandal when she meant well. I feel like I should also mention Ali as a person. Ali isn't a "Fraudster" in person, I have to say that. But online, it's clear that he's two-faced and it's gotten to a point where there's no benefit as a viewer to watching his content. To Ali, the viewer is seen as Watch-time rather than an actual person, which I personally think is quite alienating. I think I should also bring up how Ali isn't as productive as he claims. I don't mean to stab him in the back since he could definitely take action for what people say, but Ali is like a majority of people on Earth. Ali knows he's unproductive, the things you see in videos are rare occasions and are set up to mislead the audience into believing Ali has this flashy healthy lifestyle, which is just false.

It is interesting, i think viscerally I agree with the concept that it sounds bad to “put down” doctors. Ive not heard his videos much about this to know if he did or not. In reality though its about the “level” or “type” of impact one can achieve with a job For example - a person can save 7-8 lives (plus much paper work, team work together on lives, admit and discharges, busy work etc) in a year as a doctor. Most doctors have minimal spare time and not financially compensated much (esp in UK) to use the money for the second option below. Other option is you are a desk worker like a successful youtuber - make a lot of money, and use that money to donate to charity (or create your own). Your money could contribute to public health programs that lead to millions of kids saved - you may not directly do this but it is indirect and you have the means to do this with a job like Investment Banking. Its all about the type of impact The other fact is, if privileged enough to have a choice, whatever choice you make there will always be someone else of the 7 billion in the world to take the place of the other option (eg if one opts to leave medicine for business, then someone else will likely replace them in the hole left in medicine Less money oriented, this is the same calculus made by doctors who leave hospital medicine to work in Public Health such as at the WHO, they never treat a patient one to one again but may have the chance to have wider public impact

Not to mention how they all make you feel incredibly shit about yourself. He recently had a dyselxic on his podcast who says he listens to audiobooks at 4x speed and basically downloads the information, retaining all of it. That fucked with me for awhile. Anyway didnt realize he was toxic just thought I was stupid so thanks for calling him out!

It's all in Ali's body language that shows how annoying of a person he is.

Alan Watts once said that we take breaks so that we can work better but rather we should take breaks so that we could enjoy our life better

Watching him skipping around Hunter x Hunter hurt me deep in my soul. It's my favourite anime, and even if brilliant, the story is not the end all be all, the characters (how can you really appreciate them like that?) the music, the techniques used, and simply the flow of it all are the things that make it whole. He seems to have no real appreciation for art and entertainment. Honestly it is worthless for him to watch any kind of entertainment or read because he gets like maybe 1/4 of the overall experience. How can one think that every breathing moment should be productive? That kind of mindset just leads to depression and burnout.

When he or these folks abandon the Dr. title, no one will take them seriously or actively seek him for medical career advice. Asking a person who quit medic seems less reasonable today, when there are so many doctors out there working their tails off to save lives; doctors who commit over 30 years to their craft are undoubtedly wiser than Ali. Even a common doctor is more respected than a rich, successful businessman or engineer. However, being an ex-doctor is a pity. Even ex-doctors would avoid using that title in real life due to the stigma, the weight associated with the profession.

Sounds like the classic Ali Abdaal-journey to me =)

Watching the wire in 2x speed is like speed running a museum because you’d rather be making money and being “productive” the off sourcing your work to others thing was what really got me. Like Ali you realize most of aren’t making Ali abdal kinds of money not have such freedoms.

He says he's completely focused on being productive. At what? Saying this is a waste of time? He's trying to be a full lifestyle person. Your "productivity" will improve if you don't watch him. It seems like a grift to me. Will his book cut out all the wordy parts?

The more videos I watched the more he started seeming more like a productive robot than a human being. I feel like he needs to take a break, sit back and relax for a little while. Touch some grass. Breathe.

This was so cathartic to listen to. I spent so much time during quarantine watching Ali's videos and thinking that this was my golden ticket to a self-actualized life. But over time, i started to get a gut sense that nothing was really changing. Eventually i stopped watching him because it was having a negative impact on my mental health -- i never felt like i was ever "productive enough". and if i wasnt productive enough...how could i be happy? Well, after moving on from him i realized that it's okay to not be productive, and sometimes just watching a movie or a tv show after a long day of work is a reward unto itself.

I can't thank you enough for this video. We need more videos critical of "productivity gurus" just like there are plenty of videos nowadays critical of "get rich quick gurus". Unfortunately, Ali's videos (and others like him) prey on people who have actual problems with procrastination and think that there is some magical formula that would cure all of their problems, I know this because I used to be one of those people. I'm not saying Ali is doing this intentionally, but it doesn't help that his videos have clickbaity titles and their content is repetitive af, and all of this is to generate more revenue out of his yt channel. What I came to realize after a long period of research and contemplation that being disciplined and productive - which is what these gurus are all about - comes down to very few basic and obvious principles. You don't need to read 10 books or get a one-month course or what have you to "overcome" procrastination. But of course, Ali and other gurus' income depends exactly on videos of such content, so there is no hope that they'll tell their audience that.

You are absolutely right! The dude is hyper, speaks too fast, causes anxiety, inspires guilt, and his editing is terrible. I despise this abrupt editing with no transitions. His advice is mostly toxic indeed. He is a doctor, yet, he doesn't know that, if people turn into robots and don't take breaks, their bodies will take the breaks anyway, and it won't be pretty either.

Thank you! It’s funny because even though some of the studying advice and general productivity tips have had a very positive impact on my life, I absolutely agree with all the other shit being completely obsessive and downright weird. - He talks about how everyone has the same amount of time and if you do something, that’s you choosing not to make time. Forget poor working class people who have to work double shifts, they’re just ‘choosing’ not to be productive. - his insistence on “skipping boring parts in lectures” is absolutely infuriating. As well as the speed reading and shit. The cultural landscape that must be his mind…. - the churning out low-grade garbage (cooking productively/ being stoic / sleeping productively). Dude is a great example of how you can start with good intentions and just be corrupted by fame and money.

Imagine somebody doesn't know jazz piano at all, and then they learn. It's painful for them because they don't know how to play or even where to begin. Now imagine they overcome that! They learn how to deal with the biggest hurdles. Then they explain it to you from the perspective of a beginner. That's the value of having your friend in class explain something to you instead of the teacher explaining it. The teacher can't really reach through to you. The professional has forgotten what it's like to be a beginner! But your friend, the person who also didn't understand, but then suddenly DID understand, they know what you're going through! They understand WHY you don't understand. So they explain it to you in a way that completely makes sense. They speak on your level. Suddenly, you get it. That's the value of peer-reviews and peer-partnerships in learning situations! And that is also why the beginner still also has something to offer to others. You are not useless until you become a professional, you are useful! Stay positive, friend. Best wishes :)

I subscribed to this guy a few months ago. Never really got into him though because his story just feels to good to be true or something.

This is a wonderful video. I loved Ali when he started out - like you said, he was awkward, charming, relatable, and seemed to actually have a genuine desire to help students out. His more recent content though, has created a sense of unease in me that I couldn't put my finger on - but you did a really good job of highlighting the icky direction he has taken recently. However, I think you're a bit unfair to him here and there. For one, there are several videos where he admits that he possesses a certain level of privilege and acknowledges that there are people whose circumstances might hold them back. Secondly, I think it's a bit unfair to accuse him of toxic productivity. While I admit that people who watch his videos might descend into toxic productivity, many of Ali's tips are actually useful in reducing stress and preventing burnout. At the end of the day, he is disseminating information that people have the freedom to either accept or reject. I admit that that information is now becoming repetitive and recycled, but they remain useful nonetheless. He also quite explicitly says that several of his "techniques" such as watching movies at 2x speed is not something that you NEED to do but rather something you COULD do to save time IF you have the same disposition as he does. He is quite clear that this is merely a personal preference and that it's perfectly valid to have a different preference. Compared to many many other "productivity gurus", Ali is actually more transparent and self-aware than most, so I'll give him credit where credit is due. However, every type of content needs criticism to help people be more mindful of what they consume. Your video has helped me re-evaluate the way I consume Ali's content, so thank you for the effort you put into it.

I almost never comment, but thank you for this one! I have discovered Ali about a year ago and started to apply his hints and techniques about productivity. In some ways it helped, because I have improved my studying habits and started a new youtube channel, but over time I relized that his approach about "maximising productivity" can be dangerous and you can even feel a imprisoned in the cage of productivity. At the same time I don't agree with his quantitie over quality idea at all.

Always noticed he sort of sighs when he talks about his course and academy (which doesn't inspire me). He's also made a video recently saying how essentially he's fed up of the cohort he runs. Basically, he blew up fast and burnt out. Now he knows the finance niche makes the most money (higher cpm) so mostly talks in that niche. Interesting to see a little behind the scenes of the youtuber academy. I also teach on skillshare and work my balls off to make Amazing results based freelancing and video editing courses, so it sucks to see him uploading youtube videos. Shameful

I think my main problem with him is that he ignores the impacts of inate ability such as iq and life situation. I feel like the trail of destruction behind these efficiency gurus is probably larger than the number of people they have helped. You showed this by showing all those channels starting 13:00. Glad someone is talking about this. Thank you.

I just want to say THANKYOU!

I have found with a lot of these courses they give away all of their content in the free stuff, you just have to do a better job of summarizing it. Very few creators hold out any special nuggets in any of their for-pay classes.

He does not have the patience, grit and determination to serve as a doctor in the NHS in these trying times hence what better way to mint money than if you can do it by vomiting crap.

no wonder i never got into him or his videos. anyway, great video man! i loved it.

Ali’s videos are so slick and friendly. I did not suspect his scam course guru status. But his regular interviews with scam gurus made me search “Ali Abdaal scam” and found your video. Even at the beginning of the video I thought you were being nit picky. Until the behaviors built on themselves. Seeing the poor results from his courses made me realize some people look kind but underneath the mask they have no morality. No empathy for their fellow human. If his course was a couple hundred bucks, I’d have no problem. But he sells it for $2,000 - $5,000. Just makes me realize how predatory colleges are. Thank you for a fair video that uncovers the truth.

I love this video so much! So sick of all these productivity KZreadrs making us feel like shit for not having the perfect routine or system. Ali is the worst. His videos are downright depressing and even scary. Like an episode of black mirror.

9:08 damn, shows how privileged he is. People seem to not know he has always had money. Most medtubers do. He didn't MAKE a lot as a doctor but he had family money which is why he could do all that and start up.

Ali provides some excellent advice here and there. But if you follow his channel for too long, you start to wonder: how did geniuses like Elon Musk and Steve Jobs alter the world without the boatload of productivity apps that Ali claims to use every day?

What Ali Abdaal's doing is basically a modern day MLM scheme for the KZread age.

I stopped consuming this kind of content when I watched a video about how to read faster...and it hits me, ya know? I'm a passionate reader, reading is a thing that literally saved my life, and seeing methods that make reading a method, a to-do list thing...just does not make sense and loses the meaning behind literature.

I loved watching Ali when I was a grad student! I was encouraged by his tips for studying as he was in his residency. There is something incredibly off about his focus now and he doesn’t come off as genuine. It’s sad. It’s like a case study in something, but I don’t know what yet! The way he talks so fast now is insane and not as fun to listen to. If he had contact with real patients or community impact I feel like his channel would have more substance and natural creativity. His content without the relatable challenges of the “real world 9-5” job is quite strange to me now.

Just came across this video and completely agree with your points. I initially watched Ali’s videos and found them helpful and then it all derailed to become this pressure for everyone to hustle hustle and meticulously manage their time. I think it is normal to feel ok with doing ‘nothing’, there shouldn’t be a pressure to do all sorts of activities everyday, and feel that some sort of time management method or productivity tool needs to be used. For example his recent trident video……..companies have been creating planners and diaries since forever and the concept of a yearly page, monthly spread, weekly and daily spread has always been there…his videos are really lacking creativity and I feel that it is just reinventing the wheel

Ali has been helping a lot of people to boost their working life , to actually enjoy what they’re doing , he always says that if you enjoy what you do productivity will take care of itself may be I don’t agree with him all the way but his channel is the definition of quality content you don’t have to follow him step by step but I’m sure that every video can be an inspiration to someone personally , Ali’s videos automatically put me on the productive mood even if it’s a random vlog and watching this video I can see the improvement that Ali did on the content and channel in those 3 years I’m surprised that most of the comments are against him
