Procrastination psychology (USA) Jane Beaucreux Nora Yuan.
Procrastination affects almost everyone, from students to scientists, from secretaries to presidents, from housewives to salespeople. Based on their highly acclaimed and groundbreaking procrastination seminars and rich theories and experiences drawn from many psychological counseling fields, the two authors of this book have made a serious, detailed and sometimes humorous exploration on procrastination. By identifying and examining the reasons behind our procrastination-fear of failure, success, control, alienation and attachment, coupled with our concept of time and neural factors in our brain-it lays a very solid foundation for us to learn how to understand the impulse of procrastination and how to take action in new ways. The author provides us with a series of solutions to overcome procrastination, such as achieving goals, managing time, seeking support and coping with pressure. The solutions they provide are extremely practical and have been tested by practice. This book also considers the contemporary cultural demands of accelerating the pace of work and life, and the influence of neurocognitive problems such as attention deficit disorder and executive dysfunction on procrastination. This book even provides many practical suggestions for those who live and work around procrastinators.
