You might hear the alarm clock buzz, turn it off and head back to sleep... or you may keep pushing back some important task that you really need to finish... Why is that and how do we overcome it? It's quite easy when you understand what it is and why it is happening to you... Procrastination is the habit of putting the wrong priorities on tasks.

Most of the illnesses as well as stress and depression is the result of worries. Often worries are completely unwarranted for as only 10% of those dreadful scenarios really come to pass. Since there was no course on how to overcome worries, Dale decided to write one himself, to be used in his adult education. If worries are holding you back from going after your dreams, if you feel like you're stuck and don't know what it is that you truly want and you still have to "make a living" in the meanwhile, get this book. In it you will find an abundance of information on how to overcome these worries once and for all.
