Book Reviews of The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play

Book Review: Some helpful insights, but generally dangerous
Summary: 1 Stars

I'm glad some people found this book helpful. But I frankly think this book misses the point and has the potential to seriously harm the productivity and psyches of people who need its help.

My biggest complaint is with its mantra of "play more". "Guilt free play" cannot take place until one feels like his/her life is under control. By recommending that people walk away from their work while it is still under control, Fiore is recommending that people engage in dangerous denial.

What people need is strategy for getting their lives under control. Fiore attempts to offer that at times, but insufficiently.

If you want to get your life under control, I strongly recommend David Allen's Getting Things Done. It provides the strategic approach you need to get your life under control, so you can actually enjoy some guilt free recreation.

Summary of The Now Habit: A Strategic Program for Overcoming Procrastination and Enjoying Guilt-Free Play

Originally published by Tarcher in 1988, The Now Habit has sold more than 58,000 copies, and is as relevant as ever!

Author Neil Fiore offers the first comprehensive strategy to overcome the causes of procrastination and to eliminate its deleterious effects. His techniques will help any busy person get more things done more quickly, without the anxiety and stress brought on by failure to meet the workplace's pressing deadlines.

This revised, redesigned edition includes a new introduction and a section that provides strategies to understand and deal with the complex role technology plays in procrastination today.
