Brian Tracy
An Amazon.com reviewer calls this book "one of the most deceptive books ever read." Why? Because if you're not careful, you'll have so much fun reading it that you might miss one of Tracy's rules for overcoming unproductive behavior.
The book's title comes from an old saying that states if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, it'll be the worst thing that you do all day. Tracy uses eating a frog as a metaphor for your most important task--the one you're most likely to put off doing. But, with Tracy's motivational rules, you'll discover how to stop procrastinating in just 21 steps.
