Story
There’s an old saying that if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’re done with the worst thing you’ll have to do all day. For Tracy, eating a frog is a metaphor for tackling your most challenging task - but also the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life. Eat That Frog! shows you how to organize each day so you can zero in on these critical tasks and accomplish them efficiently and effectively.

Publisher's Summary
Based on their workshops and counseling experience, psychologists Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen offer a probing, sensitive, and at times humorous look at a problem that affects everyone: students and scientists, secretaries and executives, homemakers and salespeople. Procrastination identifies the reasons we put off tasks - fears of failure, success, control, separation, and attachment - and their roots in our childhood and adult experiences.
The authors offer a practical, tested program to overcome procrastination by achieving set goals, managing time, enlisting support, and handling stress. Burka and Yuen even provide tips on living and working with the procrastinators you may know.
Wise, effective, and easy to use, this new edition shows why for 25 years Procrastination has been an immediate must-have for anyone who puts things off until tomorrow.

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.

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.

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.

Not as advertised
The subtitle of the book 'what to do about procrastination' suggests that it will help combat procrastination - well it doesn't in my view. To start with the narrator has a very boring monotonous voice and then spends the first 2/3 of the book explaining the theories around the subject that just goes on and on and on ..... Without any real insight or interest. The section where I hoped to gain some useful tips into dealing with procrastination did not fare any better. It goes off in tangents - eg there is the best part of an hour discussing the loneliness of first generation immigrants in the US and how this affects procrastination - not a solution for me. Kept on listening in the hope of some wisdom but sorry, just completely wasted my time. Would have wasted less time procrastinating - how ironic.

Patronising nonsense!!!
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
A 12 year old child maybe.
Any additional comments?
Awful. Awful awful awful. Somehow I managed to get thru listening to all of this (despite falling asleep on several occasions) - nonsense. Patronising nonsense. I got practically nothing of any real value from this. The only thing I did get is the sudden motivation to write my own book, because if people make a living writing nonsense like this, then I need to try this ;)
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but this was a total waste of money!

I'm Exhausted!
Actually, I rather enjoyed this book- it's always a good sign when I realise I am quietly giggling to myself when listening. It is read very well by the narrator who has an engaging voice. In summary, I think that the greatest strengths of this book are also its greatest weaknesses. Ironically for a book on procrastination, this is a fairly long book- and yet it manages for the most part not to procrastinate. What it does do is to suggest that just about every single challenging issue in life is a basically procrastination and that this all is ultimately linked to our parents and childhood. The book adopts a Freudian psycho-analytical approach, often at the expense of other psychological interventions. This is fine, albeit that the book does go on and on. There were many times I felt like shouting 'why can't you just let things in the past be that you cannot change, accept them and move on from a position of empowerment?'

Good info - Terrible Narrator
Would you try another book written by Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen or narrated by Sandra Burr?
I've had to google the narrator to make sure she is a real person. She sounds like an automated answer machine. Even though the internet tells me Ms Burr is a human being, I still have doubts. I would never get anything narrated by her again. It's very distracting.
Would you ever listen to anything by Jane B. Burka and Lenora M. Yuen again?
Yes. The information is in depth and helpful.
What three words best describe Sandra Burr’s voice?
Artificial. Insincere. Synthetic.
If this book were a film would you go see it?
No.

I don't know but I hugely blame my very low ratings on the "narrator" it wasn't the pace (i know you can toggle that in the setting), it was mostly the narrator's style of reading. Also for some reason the ideas seemed dated to me.

Broad Subject Coverage
This book goes into a wide variety of the effects of procrastination and the possible sources of an individual behaviour from a pschological perspective. It insistently reiterates the negative realities of procrastination. There are ample examples of very familiar 'self justifying' thoughts we sufferers tell ourselves to get out of an uncomfortable, yet highly important task and some deep hitting reality checks that show the damage our frequent excuses can lead to.
After listening to this you will have far more respect for the problems of procrastination and a better knowledge base to figure out how to notice and respond in a healthier way.
The only thing I didn't enjoy much was the narrator's style. I prefer more tonal variety and emotional engagment. It is however read with clarity and at a steady pace.

This book goes extremely deep into the topic.
Amazingly eye opening insights into how your brain works. The authors present an intensely thorough examination of what procrastination is, why we do, and how to overcome it. The density of the information probably warrants a 2nd or 3rd reading for most people, to truly grasp the concepts.

At last a factual based book offering real help
If you could sum up Procrastination in three words, what would they be?

Any additional comments?
I loved this book!! For years I've struggled to understand my family and been racked by guilt over my own tendencies. Having grown up with it you realise something is wrong but not sure how to approach it or even to understand it from an emotional point of view. Instead of getting ridiculously over hyped time management 1 hour summaries/takeaways, you'll get an honest book which sheds light onto the issue and provides you with real strategies and processes to assist in overcoming this. This is now my bible for dealing with this issue.
