Ali Abdaal: 本音频节选自我的畅销书《Feel Good Productivity》，主要探讨如何利用“玩乐”的原则来提升工作效率。书中指出，玩乐能够释放多巴胺，带来快乐，这种快乐源于大脑更原始的区域，与高级脑区的功能不同。科学家通过对老鼠的研究发现，玩乐可以使老鼠感到快乐并释放多巴胺。这启示我们，人类也可以通过玩乐来释放多巴胺，从而提升快乐感和工作投入度。多巴胺的释放与我们享受乐趣的活动密切相关，例如性、购物、闻到饼干烘焙的香味等。为了更好地利用“玩乐”的效力，我们需要在生活中寻找乐趣。作者分享了观看《欢乐满人间》后受到的启发，认为在工作中融入乐趣可以提升效率。作者通过在电脑屏幕上贴便利贴，写下“如果这件事很有趣会是什么样子？”，并结合音乐等方式，将学习和工作变得更有乐趣。作者建议将“如果这件事很有趣会是什么样子？”作为指导性问题，思考如何让任务更有趣，例如改变任务方式、添加音乐或幽默感、与朋友一起完成任务或设定奖励等。奥运会攀岩运动员的例子说明，享受过程而非结果也能带来乐趣。专注于过程而非结果，更容易享受任务。即使在枯燥的工作中，也能通过创造性地改变过程来找到乐趣，例如麦当劳员工通过积极的销售技巧，将原本枯燥的工作变得更有乐趣。
