1st half not so good, 2nd half is great

The first half of this book sounds like the narrator is reading a term paper from a college student focused on why college students procrastinate. The narrator reads every heading and bullet point at a nauseating slow pace making it a difficult listen. Just as I was going to turn this book off and give up on it, a new narrator jumps in midstream and saves the day. The direction changes to providing real life adult scenarios and actionable remedies to problematic procrastination behaviors. Overall I gave this book 3 stars all around because of the rocky start. I can't believe I am the only review with less than 5 stars. Did we listen to the same book?
