Buy several copies and give them to your friends, co-workers, employees, students, even family members.

Scott Geller, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Applied Behavior Systems, Virginia Tech ""Still Procrastinating?" is nothing short of a wake-up call. Whether it is the important responsibilities of your day-to-day life or the dreams of your future, they would be well served by you not procrastinating and getting and reading this book!"--John G. Blumberg, author of "Silent Alarm" and "Good to the Core" "Dr. Joe Ferrari, the leading expert on procrastination, assures readers that procrastination is learned and can be changed. This is a terrific mutual-help book!"--Rebecca Coleman Curtis, Ph.D., author of "Desire, Self, Mind, and the Psychotherapies" "What if I fail?" "I'm better under pressure." There are all sorts of reasons people procrastinate.

This book draws on the author's more than twenty years of scientific research on procrastination in order to help you learn what stops you from getting things done.
