About Lenora M. Yuen
Lenora M. Yuen, Ph.D., is a practicing psychologist in California. Together with Jane B. Burka, she has led workshops at the University of California at Berkeley, and has also taught corporate and public audiences across the country. Drawing on that workshop and counseling work, Yuen and Burka wrote Procrastination. The book explores why people put tasks off, pointing to fears around failing, succeeding, control, separation and attachment, and follows these back to childhood and adult experiences. It also gives advice for people who live or work alongside procrastinators.
