When I delve into a new subject area, I like to try to get a balanced view by reading more than one book on the subject. Often this pays off by increasing the breadth or depth of knowledge that I'm exposed to, but always it helps me choose which book to recommend on a given subject. So let's start by saying that Emmett's slim book is markedly inferior to Neil Fiore's The Now Habit.

I try not to be an intellectual snob (hah!), but one of the clearest differences between the two books is that Fiore's analysis is based on solid science, and Emmett's is more a collection of folk advice. Where Fiore provides convincing explanations for why some of us procrastinate, Emmett gives short anecdotes from attendees of her seminars.

I can imagine that there are readers who would respond better to Emmett's style, but I'm not one of them.
