Blew me away - he's right. The book works.
I'm a terrible sceptic and have tried just about everything, including multiple courses, to deal with my procrastination. For some people it is a minor irritation, but for me it has blighted my life. I am a bright person who should have done much better in my life, and now I understand why.
My degree is in counselling, but this guy has a level of insight into procrastination and the very emotional and psychological reasons for it that I totally lacked. He has done a lot of research on it and, I believe, has made a discovery. I think he really has found the crux of what causes procrastination for people like me, and it is not (for the most part) anything to do with time management or schedules.
I will not spoil the book by giving away what he found, except to say that it was about two or three chapters in that I had the realisation of my life. For the first time in years I have genuine hope that I can get beyond this handicap I have carried around with me all my life. It is a relief to finally know what causes it and I can never "un-know" this knowledge.
The author narrates his own book, and although he isn't the best narrator out there, you get the benefit of feeling his passion for the subject and he injects real meaning to something he obviously feels strongly about. He strikes me as a really kind and understanding person and, with my counselling head on, this is just what you need from someone who is helping you with a problem that can be as personal and difficult to face as procrastination.
So, thank you very much Neil!

Fantastic Help
This was my first audiobook, and i was unsure if I could adjust to listening rather than reading a book. However, the Now Habit struck a cord with me so many times that I found it easy to concentrate. The advice is so much better than other books I've read related to procrastination. I've found it easy to put the techniques learned into practice and I'm starting to reap the rewards. I'd recommend this book to anyone who ever puts things off and then suffers with the guilt of doing so.

Interesting stuff
I am not a huge fan of self help books but I have read a thing or two on the topic of procrastination, since I am one of the world's worst! Most of the concepts and information in this book were new to me and left me feeling (for the first time ever) that I might not have to spend the rest of my life in a constant and exhausting battle to get things done on time.
Even if I never manage to fully become as efficient and organised as I hope to be, the reduction in shame that came from listening to this has made it a good read.

Actual tools to overcome procrastination
Found myself on a self help audio book binge at the moment. They tend to blend into each other. This one has stuck in my head. Instead of cheerleading me with positive thought and platitudes it helped in two ways:
1) helping identify procrastination behaviour
2) recognition that I don't have to martyr myself to work and instead schedule fun, relaxation etc without guilt as long as I can just start
The delivery is a bit odd, slow and hesitant, but speeding up the playback really helped. The faults actually added a bit of fallibility to the delivery, stopped it sounding didactic like so many other self help books.
Get past that and there's something really sincere and useful in here.

Awful
I listened to this when I couldn’t sleep - soon nodded off then.
Felt that he never got to the point and narrator had a monotone voice - not for me I’m sorry to say - I Hadid high expectations.
