WHAT MOTIVATES GETTING THINGS DONE Procrastination, Emotions, and Success

Narrator Cynthia Farrell's experience portraying strong female characters gives her narration of this audiobook magnetic appeal and authority. She has a strong repertoire of subtle pitches and intense tones that showcase but never overshadow the author's arresting insights. Written by a psychoanalyst with a gift for teaching, the audiobook avoids pejorative takes on procrastinators by calling them deadline-driven people who need external pressure to be productive--as opposed to task-driven people who dive into their work without conflict, stress, or oppressive external pressure. The nonjudgmental approach explains the roles of positive and negative emotion in these two dominant styles, which are forged early in life and are hard to fundamentally change. Practical advice for people in romantic partnerships and work groups along with Farrell's compelling vocal personality makes this a must-hear for all types of procrastinators. T.W.
