#2What is the thesis of the book?
Instead of opposites, I would consider both Workaholism and Procrastination as forms of experiential avoidance coping strategies. Instead of a golden-mean between the two, the ideal point is off the line, where you have the psychological flexibility to live a valued life despite difficult feelings and avoid both traps i.e. Acceptance and Commitment theory.
n.b. I see you are using ideas from Tim Urban, I would suggest referencing him properly rather than just copying.

#3huh?
A weird blog post becomes an ad for a book?
Whatever this example should demonstrate, it doesn't make me curious about the book.

Thanks for pointing this out, a human error. I've updated the post to point to the original idea from Tim post

#8I get the sense that digital nomadism is akin to a multi-level marketing scam; the only people making actual money are the ones recruiting others to the "lifestyle" by advertising their blogs, books and guides (see OP).

it wasn't meat as an ad, just for context.
In some places I say "this chapter.." which doesn't make since in a blog post without context.
also appreciate your honest feedback. Any personal thoughts on how to deal with procrastination without turning to a workaholic
