Meet the author

Dr. Neil Fiore is a licensed psychologist, former UC Berkeley academic, and a leading expert in productivity and peak performance who has coached executives at major corporations like AT&T and Levi Strauss. His groundbreaking work on procrastination stems from his own early struggles with "writer's block" while completing his Ph.D., leading him to develop the strategic, psychology-based techniques found in The Now Habit. His methods replace the stress of perfectionism and fear of failure with a practical system for starting tasks and enjoying guilt-free play.
