Wonderful book!
This is one of the books that the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi givesto newly diagnosed children and their families as part of our We Care 2/Diabetes 101 care packages. It is upbeat, kid friendly and is perfect to bring to school to educate classmates on the basics of diabetes! We are fortunate to have the video too-it's a great film to show elementary school children to increase their understanding of their classmate's diagnosis or to teach them about diabetes in general.

Simplified Help fo New Patients and Parents
A great help for those new to diabetes.
Maes everyhing easy to understand.

Not Just for Kids
I am an R.N. in an acute care hospital and this is the best book I have found for newly diagnosed diabetics.It's simple, but not childish.It gives all the pertinent information for a diabetic to get off to a good start without overloading them with a lot of medical jargon and technicalinformation.It's officially recommended for pre-teens, but I find itbeneficial for even adults.When they are ready to learn more, then theycan move up to a more advanced book. ...

Product Description
It is 'my' sincere soul desire to bring forth the knowledge of our life in this vast universe that we know nothing about and that goes for our life existence here on Earth our home world. There are thousands of stories that we have not been told, accept for the same stories that we hear, repeatedly about the biblical creation of the typical Adam and Eve story, and of the typical story of 'The End Times'. Since 1979 'I' have been delving deep into all believes of our world that we hardly hear about, if not at all. When we do hear about other believes and that goes for all believes around our world and including of our own believes. It is up to all of us to come to realize, that all believes have been mangled through time as we enter into every a new age, and during a new beginning, as we all look back to our past ages, all of our believes, world over has been changed. This book is not for just one belief system and to cast all other believes aside, like all those other books that are out there, and that goes for all religions as well. This book is to show that we are all the same regardless of your believes, which most of the people of Earth, 'all say that their religion is better then the other one.' As we all should realize, 'is that we are all humans.' Now for this so-called, 'The End Times', is not what we all have been raised to belief, through our religions, world over. This book is not about doom and Gloom, as you will soon see. ... Read more

Best book for Procrastination!!
I have read many books by top authors on Procrastination. Most say write a goal, concentrate on your A1 task etc etc. But the point is-they miss on why you do it? Until unless you figure it out, you can't solve this problem completely, atleast on long term basis. We all procrastinate atleast on some areas. Authors list reasons why we do it in a proper manner. It could be your environment, your interaction with your school teacher/professor/parents, showing how great you are by doing nightout before exam and still passing etc etc. I feel to deal with it properly--one has to know the reason. I guess it is best in that sense and feel everyone should read it. (I would suggest everyone read the first chapter here in this site, especially the cycle of procastination)
Thanks to authors for writing such a great book :)

Great book. Must read!!!
Great in helping you identify the reasons you procrastinate and how you can solve them.

don't put off reading this book!
I bought this book YEARS ago, maybe as many as ten years ago.Ironically enough, it took me three years to finally read it!Really.But I'm glad I finally read it.It helped me understand why I procrastinate, and provided some useful strategies to overcome it.I became a better student, worker, friend and family communicator.I've recommended it to lots of folks.In fact, I was just looking to buy a copy for a friend of mine and thought I'd take the opportunity to further spread the word about this wonderful book.

Superb help for overcoming procrastination
I'm a clinical psychologist, university professor and professional coach and one of my main specialties is helping people combat procrastination and writer's block.This is the first book I recommend to people who want to reform self-defeating habits of procrastination.

Burka and Yuen present sophisticated explanations of the many reasons why we habitually delay important but unpleasant activities. Then, in the second half of the book, they provide tips and tactics to help us overcome procrastination.

This book is psychologically sophisticated and one of the few self-help books that I've read with understandable explanations of why our bad habits develop and why they are so difficult to extinguish.The paralyzing fear of failure is vividly outlined.Less obvious, to most of us, and very well explained here, is how we may be ambivalent about succeeding.The reasons that some people procrastinate in order to rebel are described - for some of us, hostility may be a factor.On the other hand, Burka and Yuen illuminate ways that we may use delays to remain secure and comfortable.These many methods of self-sabotage really got me thinking when I first read the book, and have led to many insights and changes in the students and coaching clients I work with.

In the section on taking action, Burka and Yuen suggest ways to evaluate areas of difficulty, set priorities, manage time, organize activities, reduce stress, enlist support from others, follow through on efforts to change, and achieve goals.

The book is well-written, and provides clear and compelling examples. When I first read this book more than a decade ago, it helped me get my own dissertation done.I'm delighted that it is still in print.I frequently recommend it to the graduate students I teach, the faculty I coach, and the people I work with in psychotherapy.

A good book for beginning of the end of procrastination
This book really looks at the source of procrastination, and illustrates that this behavior can be overcome. It caters to the self-esteem, and gives encouraging support for dealing with procrastination once and for all. It explains how to with it yourself, as well as how to manage others who procrastinate. It also demonstrates the devestating effects of procrastination on a persons life.
I thought it was very easy to read, except one part where you finally get too anxious and have to skip ahead. I suggest fighting the urge to skip Part 1, because it's true that the techniques in Part 2 aren't sufficient without understanding why you procrastinate. ... Read more
