Unique insights well worth learning

In this book Dr. Fiore provides a unique insight on causes of procrastination and some surprising strategies to deal with it. Having read some 3 or 4 books over 10 years in an effort to deal with the habit (I just never quite get around to it!), I have found Dr. Fiore's ideas among the most effective yet.

Some have commented on his narration style, and yes it is a little slow. I found turning up the narration speed on my iPod the only remedy needed.

For me this book, plus 'Eat That Frog', provide everything one needs to know to change behaviour and stop procrastinating. Now it is up to me!

I'm a chronic procrastinator.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Now Habit to be better than the print version?

For an ADD person like me, reading the book would probably bore me to hell.
I did buy the Japanese translation of the print version after listening to this audio edition to for re-reads.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Now Habit?

I got to understand the mechanism of procrastination through this book. It doesn't solve everything, but it gives you hope by your clear understanding of why you procrastinate in the first place. I already recommend this book to my close friends that suffer from procrastination like I do.

So much knowledge

You will actually learn techniques to change your habits. So glad I picked up this book and finished it. Even only a couple of chapters in I was able to start applying it to my day to day life.

Life changing!

This book has helped me significantly. It goes into the psychology and why and how to kick the habit of procrastination. This book is so valuable and full of great information. It was like a missing key. People were complaining about the narration but it did not bother me whatsoever. I just needed help! From start to finish it is loaded with insight and I would say my procrastination habit is being kicked to curb and I am at least 60% more productive since listening to this book. It really is that helpful. It also comes with a pdf that is helpful. You will receive many tools to cope with anxiety and how to change your faulty thinking in regards to work. I have read countless articles and watched YouTube video after YouTube video but this is the only thing that has actually helped. God bless Dr. Neil Fiore! I am very grateful!

Overall a helpful springboard

I was inspired by this book and have put some of the suggestions in place. It helped me understand myself and others who also procrastinate.
The narrating is not the best but can be forgiven since it's the author himself. I increased the speed of listening which helped.

great book

Have you tried David Allen's gtd but did you fell of the wagon because of procrastination? Then this is the book for you

This is a question about the materials included

The audiobook includes PDF files, but where can I access them?
I am using this venue because there’s no way to ask a question.

Life Changing Information

The narrator has a boring voice and tone but the information provided is amazing. I appreciate this book
