The Process of Writing a Book
This chapter revolves around the speaker's experience of writing a book, discussing the challenges, lessons learned, and the balance between their voice and scientific research. They emphasize the importance of recognizing that the first draft will be imperfect and the value comes from the editing process.
In this special episode of Deep Dive, I'm being interviewed by renownd psychologist and author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? Dr Julie Smith. We'll be talking all about my brand new book Feel-Good Productivity and we discuss the writing process, the insights you can expect from picking up a copy, and all of the research into productivity and wellbeing that went into creating this book. It was strange to be on the other side of the desk, but I hope this conversation gives you a glimpse of what's to come in Feel-Good Productivity. I'm so excited to be sharing this book with you all ❤️
