"A splendid way to avoid one's work." --Ben Schott, author of Schott's Original Miscellany "Do not put off reading this charming guide to more effective procrastination. Dr. Perry is the Fabius Cunctator in our war against the Hannibal of the undone. Be gone, elephants of nagging duty. --P. J. O'Rourke, author of Holidays in Hell "Insightful, sensible, and amusing." --Harry G. Frankfurt, author of On Bullshit "John Perry is the wittiest philosopher since Marx (Groucho), and he brings to this book a delightful combination of wisdom and humor." --Thomas Cathcart, coauthor of Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . . . " The Art of Procrastination is a gem--its practical wisdom as spot-on as its humor. Now that I've devoured this hilarious and insightful tome, I not only know that I'm a structured procrastinator, but I've also picked up some invaluable tips on how to fool myself into being more productive, which to put to use someday." --Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of 36 Arguments for the Existence of God: A Work of Fiction "What are you waiting for? Read this book!" --Patricia Marx, author of Starting from Happy "John Perry's book is lively, funny, engaging and wise. And--fortunately for procrastinators--short. It's just the thing for a moment or two away from the task at hand!" --Timothy A. Pychyl, PhD, author of The Procrastinator's Digest "I intend to write a rave about The Art of Procrastination just as soon as I've cleared my desk this afternoon--or at least by first thing tomorrow--because reading this straight-talking, badly needed book has changed my life." --Bruce McCall, writer and illustrator for The New Yorker "There are lessons both deep and funny to be found in our capacity to put things off, and Perry is the ideal guide--a writer of superlative wisdom and wit. Forget whatever you were supposed to do next, and read this book." --Mark Kingwell, PhD, coauthor of The Idler's Glossary " The Art of Procrastination rings startlingly true. Perry reconstructs the inner dialogue of the procrastinator with a droll, lighthearted style that has inspired me to try his strategies (alarm clocks, self-deceptions, and self-forgiveness). --Patrick Byre, CEO, Overstock.com , "A splendid way to avoid one's work." --Ben Schott, author of Schott's Original Miscellany "Do not put off reading this charming guide to more effective procrastination.

Synopsis
John Perry celebrates this nearly universal character flaw by pointing out how often procrastinators are, paradoxically, doers . They may not be accomplishing everything on their to-do lists, but that doesn't make them slackers. It just indicates a need to rethink the to-do list. He also introduces the philosophical notion of akrasia (the mystery of why we often choose to act against our better judgement), examines the torturous relationship between procrastination and perfectionism, and shows how to give yourself permission to do an imperfect but, in fact, perfectly good job., Procrastination-just about everyone has struggled with it. This charming, highly readable book by an internationally recognized Stanford philosopher offers a new outlook: Instead of focusing on your deficits, recognize the myriad things that you do accomplish while avoiding "the important project." Laced with stealth advice that you can put to use, it's funny, wise, and useful to boot., At last: Self-help for procrastinators. (The secret: acceptance ) Filled with charm, tongue-in-cheek wit, and the insights of a lifelong introspective dawdler, The Art of Procrastination is a philosophical self-help program for every reader who suffers the pangs of being a procrastinator.
