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. ( )

Procrastination

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0738209562, Paperback)

Based on years of counseling, psychologists Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen offer a probing, sensitive, and sometimes humorous look at the problem that troubles everyone. Revealing the reasons we put off tasks-fears of failure, success, control, separation, and attachment-the authors outline a practical, tested program to overcome procrastination. Candid and understanding, Procrastination is a must-have today for anyone who puts everything off until tomorrow.
