Volitional Psychology (PROCRASTINATION) with Dr. Joseph R. Ferrari
Dr. Joe Ferrari holds up a copy of his book “Still Procrastinating?”
“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 paralysing, how to trust your own abilities, and most importantly -- what to do if you’re a chronic procrastinator. Also: how any why you should embrace failure. Oh and a weird ASMR pencil trick.
