[Michalyn · Rating 2 out of 5]

I really don't know what to rate this book. I started reading it because I'm an inveterate procrastinator and I'd heard this author was good at giving advice for how to get out of the procrastination rut. However, while the author's advice seemed sound, the book just wasn't positive enough for me to get into it. Reading about the author's feelings of worthlessness made me feel depressed and I kept getting the feeling that he needed this book more than I did LOL. In short, it seemed more like a memoir than a book intended to give readers concrete strategies they could use. I'm going to give this one another try eventually ... but probably not too soon.
