Not useful. the book meanders through a series of long, detailed explanations about why people procrastinate, and why some people procrastinate to a point that is damaging, then falters. Given that most of the readers who actually finish the book are probably people who are trying to find strategies for coping with procrastinaters, it is a shame that the weakest section in the book is the one on dealing with procrastinationin others. The authors give a direct, easily understandable list of "don't's" then follow up with some incredibly vague, unhelpful advice on "negotiating." Really, this one is not worth reading. ( )I started to read this book long ago, and I'm going to finish it any year soon. no reviews | add a review
