Self-Help & Personal Development review
Overcoming Procrastination review
A $17.99 ebook on beating procrastination, credited to a doctor with a PhD in the Psychology of Failure.
Pass
The topics are the right ones, and research on procrastination is well developed, from implementation intentions to self-compassion after setbacks. This listing, however, attaches a doctorate in the Psychology of Failure, which is not an academic field, and gives no author you could look up. This seller also sells at least three other books on the same subject in this batch alone. Researchers such as Tim Pychyl publish free material on procrastination under their own names.

Psychology, momentum, habits
The listing covers causes, quick-start strategies and daily routines.
It is general advice rather than a structured programme.
Four books on one theme
The seller sells separate titles on procrastination, discipline, focus and willpower in this batch.
They cover overlapping ground.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Vivian Peterson with a PhD in the Psychology of Failure and 33 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across the more than 120 titles from this seller in our catalogue: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 386000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
