This book is more like a collection of summary of popular self help books.

Will be okay for young people who read occasionally.

[Manraj Sohi · Rating 3 out of 5]

89 page, big fonts, a good book for lazy people. Coolmitra beautifully explains the maths of time that we waste 3190h per year. Tells to focus on your time stealers & energy consumption. The bio of dopamine that helps you in motivation. Set simple goals, break them down, take baby steps. Remember ‘death’ to create necessity. Remember the biggest killer is the waiting for perfect moment- which never comes. Read read & then apply. Written by a youngster for the youngsters. Very nice. Keep it up

[Chandra Sekhar · Rating 4 out of 5]

"The Psychology of Laziness" by Mohammed Shakeel is a self-improvement guide that looks to help individuals in distinguishing their actual potential so they can dominate throughout everyday life. The book discusses about time, its significance, inclination, objectives and delaying that works with lack of energy.

The book is separated into seven parts, and every section attempts to help peruses in recognizing everyday issues where we turn out badly and how to cure them.

There are many books out there to get motivation to get on work, but this book is something special and unique. Author has put so much effort in penning this concept. I really liked the book very much as I always want to have a determination. I was never used to postpone anything, but due some issues I started being lazy sometimes, after reading this book I realized, and I recalled my past, how I worked hard to survive for my life.

Everybody can relate at certain point of time while reading this book, because we all came through all those. And we know what we did. Excuses will never make us better.

Written in a basic and clear language with amazingly solid and realities-based substance, "The Psychology of Laziness" is a totally wonderful and inventive book which help us in re-designing our life as per the necessities of present time and accomplish our objectives.

I will recommend this book and I can give 4/5.

Divided in seven curated chapters, it tells us about the importance of time and explains to us the meaning of time management. Furthermore, it gives us a glance over how to utilise our energy and the tips to set goals.

Just grab this novel and change your way of living if you're leading a lazy lifestyle.

[Sara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg, such a book. Surprised that a 22-year-old guy wrote it.Very impressive.

It is straightforward to digest information and use it in real life. Unlike other self-help books, it is short-written and well-explained with exact & clear examples.

I read it twice. Planning to read it again. A very short book, and I would recommend carrying it wherever you go since it will remind you what to do when you feel lost or forget what you are doing.


HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!


P.S. That'll be my second self-help book after "Four Agreements", that I'd never get tired of reading again.

[Nitin Jain · Rating 5 out of 5]

आलास का मनोविज्ञान by मोहम्मद शकील is an excellent self-help book that tackles familiar challenges like procrastination, planning, and execution with refreshing practicality. The author's approach stands out for its grounded, actionable advice rather than theoretical abstractions. The emphasis on starting small and breaking tasks into manageable steps resonates throughout, making complex behavioral changes feel achievable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking concrete strategies to overcome inertia and build productive habits in everyday life.

[Jansirani K · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book was really interesting to read. It was very simple and I won’t say that these things mentioned in the book are something that we did not know already. But the book pointed out the mistakes very clear in front of us and very simple to read.

It not only pointed out the missing parts but also have steps by step help on how to overcome laziness which I liked most in this book.

[Jason Murphy · Rating 2 out of 5]

While the subject matter is strong concept, the author does not do a great job of presenting his model. The book is poorly edited, and often talks circles around itself without getting to the point. I hope future editions are revisited because the concept is sound, it just needs to be communicated better.

[Jeel Porwal · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book!
It is a life changing book.

[Mayank · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book is most helpful ones for the lazy bums like me,in which the author had tried to explain how our mind works and how to feel energetic,time management and all the stuff that one needs to know for increasing their productive time and get better results.

[Fathima Shifa · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this book, author is telling us how he managed to kill this “Bug of Procrastination”, and how we can do this too and set out on this journey of making one's dreams come true. Fast-paced read and lucid language. Easy to understand and recommending to all readers to develop yourself.

[Jon Smith · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not bad. Some good nuggets and I interesting numbers. English language skills could use a bit of work, some lost impact due to challenges with grammar and usage. It would also be helpful to use endnotes to cover proper citations of studies so the reader can do a deeper dive.

Too generic, repetitive, delusion of grandeur of author makes it annoying to read.

[Mohibullah Salarzai · Rating 2 out of 5]

The Psychology of Laziness explores the causes of procrastination and lack of motivation, linking them to psychology and culture. It offers insights to help understand and overcome inaction.

[Ann Nwuzor · Rating 3 out of 5]

Perfect for lazy people. Very concise and easy to read.For me, it felt like a summary of most of the self help books you must have read

[Kia Hashemi · Rating 2 out of 5]

Overall, the book was good, but it could have been more practical rather than just presenting general concepts. While the author discusses some of the main reasons for lacking motivation and experiencing laziness, he doesn't delve deeply enough into these issues. For instance, simply knowing that our brains produce dopamine won't help someone overcome procrastination. Similarly, stating that people should set goals and manage their time better won't motivate them to take action. Many readers are already aware that they need to set goals, live with purpose, and resist instant gratification. Therefore, for a book aimed at procrastinators, I believe it should provide more specific, actionable routines.

[Ananya Shukla · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Psychology of Laziness is a short book filled with great lessons which is written by a modern motivational speaker.
••••
This book offers you great knowledge of things . As the author says in the book that most people spend most of the year just thinking some of it is wasted in laziness and lack of energy and hardly active and productive for nearly 2-3 months with all their might. It doesn't matter how talented you are , what matters is how persistent you have been , if you have learned anything abd you don't make it a habit , you will surely forget it , but if you make it a habit , the pressure on you to keep it memorized vanishes. The author has mentioned in the book that trust , the brain system of yours , when life starts bringing those things for you that you had always wanted , you will start doing things that you had never imagined for yourself.
••
The vocabulary is used an easy one which was really easy to understand it and as it a short book of great motivation which you should or can just complete in a full day sitting.

'द साइकोलॉजी ऑफ आलसनेस' आलस्य के पीछे के मानसिक और मनोवैज्ञानिक कारणों से संबंधित है, जो हम कभी-कभी खुद को घेर लेते हैं। सात क्यूरेटेड अध्यायों में विभाजित, यह हमें समय के महत्व के बारे में बताता है और हमें समय प्रबंधन का अर्थ समझाता है। इसके अलावा, यह हमें अपनी ऊर्जा का उपयोग करने और लक्ष्य निर्धारित करने के सुझावों पर एक नज़र देता है।

यह गैर-काल्पनिक उपन्यास एक छोटा लेकिन प्रभावशाली और प्रभावी पठन है। कुछ ही पन्नों में लेखक ने पाठकों को प्रेरित करने का प्रयास किया है, और यह हमें बचे हुए समय के अर्थ को समझने में भी मदद करता है। तो समय क्यों बर्बाद करें? यदि आप एक आलसी जीवन शैली जी रहे हैं तो बस इस उपन्यास को पकड़ें और अपने जीने के तरीके को बदलें।

[Harshita · Rating 4 out of 5]

Aalas ka Manovigyan is a good book to read. It has great words which can have great impact the readers. The book talks about topics such as How to be productive and energetic, how one can overcome the addiction of mobile phones, how mobile phones and internet are impacting our lives etc.
.
The book is a short read can be easily completed in a day. The writing style of author is quite loveable. It's simple and seems like normal talking tone. Hence it's easy to read the book.
.
However at someplaces, the topic is not completed understood and only example is given. Hence that must be taken care of next time.

Awesome book

It is so clear from the title of the book on which issue the book is written. This book, divided into 7 chapters, explains the complete science behind the laziness. It also teaches us the importance of time in our life. Topics like, Time Management, Time Consumption, Dopamine, Goals, 'Where to Start?, What to Start?, etc are discussed in this book in a very orderly manner.
The author is to be commended for writing such an important issue in such a simple language. Great perspective along with being fairly easy to read and understand.
