Almost a decade ago, I decided to spend part of a summer training martial arts with my best friend. The gym we attended had many offerings, so many in fact that it was overwhelming! I considered the different options, weighing self-defense practicality, exercise intensity, class length, class frequency, instructor quality, etc. Unable to come to a decision, I asked my friend which type of martial arts would be best for me. He replied: "The best martial arts class is the one you actually do."
This is how I view Antony's book. It's not the longest self-help book I've ever read, nor is it the most well-written, inspiring, or insightful book I've ever read. But it's one that worked for me. It's completely practical, centered around a single technique which I've been implementing with great success, and I look forward my continued personal growth that will be spurred on by this book.
All of that being said, what are some specifics? Antony delves deep into the various underlying emotions and/or patterns of thinking that drive procrastination - he calls these "The Five-Headed Dragon" of procrastination. He doesn't get too technical, academic, analytical, or psychological. He simply and succinctly outlines negative thought patterns in a relatable and compassionate way. Although I had heard all these individual ideas before, I had never considered them as part of a unified framework for understanding procrastination. This was very helpful for me.
Furthermore, Antony does not shy away from sharing his own struggles with procrastination, as well as his attempts, successful and unsuccessful, at overcoming it. This made him feel relatable in a way that many other self-help authors, at least in my experience, are not able to achieve. (As an example, consider Sheryl Sandberg, author of Lean In . Although I enjoyed Lean In and think the book contains valuable lessons, I also had a hard time relating, as she had achieved a very high level of professional success and prestige, even at a young age.)
Given that this (e)book is free, I highly recommend it. You can pick up a copy here.
