About this ebook
Updated Edition: A practical, tested anti-procrastination program that "show[s] you how to fix this vexing, life-sapping problem" ( Business Today (NC)).
This guide is a must-have for anyone who puts things off until tomorrow. Based on their workshops and counseling experience, psychologists Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen offer a probing, sensitive, and at times humorous look at a problem that affects everyone: students and scientists, managers and moms, contractors and salespeople.
Wise, effective, and easy-to-use, Procrastination identifies the reasons we put off tasks—fears of failure, success, control, separation, and attachment—and their roots in our childhood and adult experiences. This revised and updated edition takes into account the demands of an accelerated, 24/7 culture, as well as the impact of such neurocognitive conditions as ADHD and executive dysfunction. In addition to helping you power through this common obstacle to success, Burka and Yuen provide helpful tips on living and working with the procrastinators in your life.
"Offer[s] hope for those prone to delay." — The Boston Herald
"This frequently lively book will certainly set time-wasters and task-avoiders on the path to self-improvement." — Publishers Weekly
