The Procrastination Equation How to Stop Putting Things Off and Start Getting Stuff Done eBook Piers Steel Phd Reviews

• I consume productivity books. Most give a nugget of wisdom at best. But this book is the holy grail of figuring out why you aren't getting "it" done. Best part is you get evidence-based solutions with well summized action plans at the end of each section. This is my favorite book I've read this year!
• Not a good how to book. Explained the history and the why of procrastination, but slim on specific tools and techniques.
• I really, really, really like this book! I found it at the public library and thought it would be another lame, "make lists, set goals and priorities" book but boy was I wrong! Rather than letting it sit for a week, like I normally do, I read it straight thru in two evenings. I'm a recovering "world class procrastinator" so I was ready to be disappointed, as I have been with so many other books on this subject, but it wasn't to be! Bottom line I like the fact that he has science to back up his suggestions and some clear, step-by-step ways to implement them. I bought the book so I could highlight the heck out of it (libraries tend to frown on that practice. Go figure?) and have started using the ideas that fit my pattern of "addiction" - and they are working! Maybe its just me, maybe its the book or a combination, but I'm getting results that other books haven't provided. Don't skip the evaluation quizzes in the first chapter and do the full online version as well - you may not like the results! If you really suffer from procrastination this might be a book for you. Don't procrastinate! Buy it now and read it!
• This was a highly insightful and encouraging read. I didn't think I would ever overcome my chronic procrastination. Piers does a wonderful job in describing why we procrastinate and provides useful techniques to stop our procrastination in its tracks, or help us procrastinate more effectively.
  
  Thanks to The John Batchelor Show for interviewing Piers on this great piece of work. Definitely a game changer for me.
• If you struggle with procrastination, read this book! It is so well-written it just flows, full of anecdotes and the like to break it up. The author basically begins with the natural history of procrastination in humans, and brings us forward to modern life, in which it is a soul-stealing detriment. Then he hands us several methods to combat it.
• Much great info, helped me alot. I now attack projects rather then put them on a to do list.
• A great book for those who wish to explore procrastination. This is not exactly an easy read, but is worth the effort. I would place this in my top 5 books on procrastination.
• It is such a fascinating book, that after reading it all, I never thought I could read so fast in such a short period of time. Is perhaps one of the best books I've read after "Emotional Intelligence of Daniel Goleman", it's so nice to know that there are still writers among us of that caliper, and sincerity.
