This review is from: Self-Handicapping: The Paradox That Isn't (The Springer Series in Social Clinical Psychology) (Hardcover)

I performed my undergraduate psychological research in the area of self-handicapping and found this book to be a valuable tool. It provides a clear, complete overview of the subject.

You don't, however, need to be a researcher to appreciate this book. If you've ever wanted to understand a child who makes excuses before a performance, a student who gets drunk the night before an exam, or an employee who consistently procrastinates until required to perform the work at the last minute then this is the book for you.
