Jump! : a new philosophy for conquering procrastination

May, Simon (Simon Philip Walter)2026
Books
'Jump!' reaches back into the long history of alarm about why we postpone or avoid what we take to be in our best interests, from the desert monks of 4th century Egypt to the medieval Christian philosopher Thomas Aquinas, from the ancient Greeks to Chinese and Hindu sources. Simon May argues that procrastination - unlike indolence, with which it is often confused - has blessings as well as dangers, for it can powerfully illuminate who we really are and what we most deeply value. At the same time, any solutions to it need to go far beyond the time management agenda to touch the very way we see the world.
