Procrastination is an almost universal human experience. While many people attribute procrastination to laziness or a lack of drive, our real motivations to push back and delay important activities and decisions are more complicated than personal weakness. The truth is that humans are well-adapted for basic survival, but they are not so great at managing the stresses and expectations of modern life without a little help.

Packed with psychological insights, practical tips and personal stories from Tim’s life, Lost and Found is a new kind of self-help book that invites all of you to the table: the bad and the good, your failures and your successes, challenges and breakthroughs.

If you ask a Finn, they will likely be as baffled as you are. That’s why Melanie Dower, an expat who has been living in Finland for the past decade, has taken up the charge. Her vantage as an outsider entrenched in Finnish culture uniquely positions her to identify the keys to Finnish happiness that elude the rest of the world and that Finns take for granted. From sauna to strong social safety nets, Finnish life is made up of a constellation of habits and structures that leave its residents relaxed, healthy, and fulfilled.

Very Helpful
If you are actively looking to try to change your behavior and modes of thought, this will be very helpful. It does take some self awareness and self examination which can get uncomfortable, but is absolutely necessary to alter oneself. I piked the fact that he consistently talked about all of the free ways to achieve permanent change and that he wasn’t simply trying to get you to spend money on other things. You will only benefit from this if you are willing to put in some effort of your own.

It all depends on your perspective
I’ve read other reviews and agree, he does say google it. However, I think if you are in a position to know you procrastinate, and needed just a nudge, this is it. He is pretty much saying stop looking for someone to hold your hand and just get off your rear end and do it.

Great motivation to continue improving at any age
Most of what is said here is common knowledge, yet it is nice to hear it exposed in such a compelling and delightful manner. It is true that we can learn and improve at almost any age, so what's stopping us. Maybe we thought we have started to learn French or exercising years ago, and it is possibly true that we should have started long ago, but it is also true that the second best time to start is today. This is by far my favorite series of podcasts in audible.

All good stuff
I love Dr Happy, he makes me chuckle because there are so many people in my life who would so benefit from this if they could get out of their own way. I am in a helping profession surrounded by people with all these excuses. When I try to point out what is so blatantly obvious to me I get met with all these lovely excuses about why they should maintain their miserable lives. It's so frustrating. Dr Happy allows me to refill my tank and get back out there.
