Volitional Psychology (PROCRASTINATION) with Dr. Joseph R. Ferrari Ologies with Alie Ward
-
- Science
“Everyone procrastinates, but not everyone is a procrastinator,” quoth Dr. Joe Ferrari, a charming, hilarious expert on the subject. The research psychologist, author and DePaul University professor sits down for a truly delightful exploration of why we procrastinate, how prevalent it is, when it becomes harmful, some myths about procrastination, why it’s similar to gambling, how decision-making can feel paralyzing, how to trust your own abilities, and most importantly -- what to do if you’re a chronic procrastinator. Also: how and why you should embrace failure. Oh and a weird ASMR pencil trick.
Dr. Ferrari’s book “Still Procrastinating? The No Regrets Guide to Getting It Done”
