Not as an audio book.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Different reader.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

The content is helpful.

Any additional comments?

As a kindle book, fine. As an audio book, not so much. I bought the audio version so I could listen while riding the subway. The narrator's voice is grating. (Really? You couldn't get anyone better?) Also, you soon realize how often the word procrastinator is used in this book...and that's grating, too. "Be firm with the procrastinator." "If the procrastinator delays on something..." "Procrastinator. The procrastinator! I realize it's a book about procrastination, but... It's like listening to the song Roxanne. If I took a drink every time she said procrastinator.... And the way she says it and the way it's used... procrastinator starts sounding like...an evil, nasty person. Procrastinator! I had to shut it off.

Waste of my money, pretty annoyed!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Ugh i don't know, but this was not for me.

What was most disappointing about Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen ’s story?

Very cliched. All stuff i had heard before many many times, but made longer...which made it more boring!

Any additional comments?

How ironic that a book about trying to cure procrastination - made me procrastinate! Trying to get thru this book was a huge chore but as i had spent so much on it i was determined to try. It was awful. I picked up a few small things but mostly this was nonsense and boring nonsense at that.

Just like a therapy

What did you like best about this story?

This is a very good book, helped me a lot and I urged to write this review. Better listening than reading, feels just like a real therapy session!

Extremely helpful and informative

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely. This book took procrastination and broke it down to all the reasons why someone does it, how the brain has been affected, and how patterns have been set. It cross references things such as ADD and ED and how we were raised with Cognitive thinking and awareness. This book breaks things down in a logical format that is understandible and helps you to not condemn either yourself or your loved one who is a procrastinator.

What do you think your next listen will be?

I'm currently listening to "Everyone's a Theologian: An Introduction to Theology" by R.C. Sproul.

Have you listened to any of Sandra Burr’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, this was the first book by her. She pronounces a few words a little differently than I would, but otherwise it was good.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from Procrastination?

Journalling for awareness as well as talking to the procrastinator in my life very differently.

Any additional comments?

I sure wish I could get my procrastinator to listen this book.

Ponderous, I couldn't finish

After 4 hours of listening to "procrastination is like this" and "here's another example of what procrastinating is" I couldn't take it any more. Hearing hour after hour of "composite" individuals' stories and then calling them all procrastination is more self-torture than self-help. For me, "what to do about it now" is to return it and get a book that doesn't say essentially the same thing repeatedly for (at least) hours on end.

Great!

This was my first experience with an audio book. The sound was clear and the narration was understandable and enjoyable. The app is super convenient and easy to use. I'd like to listen to more books!

Comforting

The insights provided by this book have helped encourage me as have the anecdotes. I do not plan to follow all the advice. Partnering with someone would not work for me. I am a loner and ADD. A partner would be a distraction. I want to follow through by reading the book on the Kindle app. It is a worthy book.
