The only self-help book you’ll ever need: a simple, proven 90-minute method to achieve more and stress less.

How many notifications do you receive a day? How many news articles do you see? How much of your life is lost to scrolling, swiping and endless updates?

Our work-lives have been turned into boundary-less messes by email and Teams. Because of social media, our personal lives never know peace. We’re all trying to keep up without burning out, and being productive is no longer enough; now, we have to be ‘ultra’. But what if the secret to navigating an increasingly hectic world lies not in doing more, but in doing three things differently?

In Ultraproductive, Eric Partaker and Dr. Christian Poensgen reveal the transformative power of the 90-minute method – a simple, science-backed approach that addresses the three areas that matter most for our productivity and well-being.

Sharper focus: 90 minutes of deep, uninterrupted work each day.
Deeper sleep: 90 minutes of deep sleep each night.
Smarter stress: Reset stress cycles every 90 minutes.

Drawing on cutting-edge research and packed with actionable strategies – from reevaluating your relationship with social media to scheduling ‘ultrafocus’ sessions – Ultraproductive is the essential guide to achieving more without burning out. Its simple framework will help you regain control over your time and attention, restore your energy, and build the resilience to thrive in an overstimulated world.
