- The definitive book on procastrination
It is rare to find a book that meets its goals so dramatically well.
This book is insightful and to the point. The reasons outlined for procrastination are simply the most lucid ones that you can find. They show the author's deep understanding of the very roots of the problem.
But, as he also says, "knowing *how* you procastrinate is even more important than knowing *why*". And it is in this point that this book truly shines. After that, the solutions presented are far from obvious, ... Read More
Rating: - Great Book!

- Some Great Insights But Lots of Filler
This easily readable book really contains some gems of psychological insight into the root causes of and remedies for procrastination.Unfortunately, like many self help books, this key insights are packed inside pages of prosaic, predictably stale anecdotes about "real" people.I skimmed/ skipped though them all, and got through the whole book in about an hour and a half.All in all, it is definitely worth a read since it contains a few ideas that may really impact your life positively, but it would ...

Rating: - One star - five stars - who knows?
I gave this book three stars because there are plenty of people who seem to like it. I can't agree, but it obviously works for them.
As a published writer, I get the feeling that the book was a few ideas which the author expanded to a book. I never found the "Strategic Program" that the cover promises. The case studies appeared to be all about people being told, "You're not a bad person for procrastination, you're really not."
I finished reading this book in bed last night, and I ... Read More
