What if procrastination was not a flaw to overcome, but a force to understand? That is the radical, life-affirming question at the heart of Procrastinating or Approaching, the compelling new book by Dr. Megha Verma — dental surgeon, thinker, and passionate author. Published by Cleverfox Publishing, this landmark work offers readers 100 original musings on life — a rich, reflective collection that reframes how we see delays, detours, and the daily pursuit of happiness.
In a world obsessed with productivity, speed, and constant forward motion, Dr. Verma dares to pause — and asks us to do the same. Her book does not preach the elimination of procrastination. Instead, it illuminates the wisdom hidden within both states of being: the pause and the pursuit, the waiting and the moving forward.
“Delays are temporary. Happiness should be permanent. So delay the delays and mark your presence in the world of positivity ruling over negativity.” — Dr. Megha Verma
ABOUT THE BOOK
Procrastinating or Approaching is not a conventional self-help book. It is a philosophical companion for anyone navigating the inevitable tensions of life — success and failure, movement and stillness, hope and hesitation. Through 100 carefully crafted musings and sayings, Dr. Verma builds a bridge between two seemingly opposing concepts and reveals their shared truth: that both procrastination and approach, when understood deeply, serve the same purpose — to move us toward our most fulfilled selves.
The book is grounded in a profound belief: that the universe is never idle. Everything that happens — every setback, every delay, every unexpected turn — is working productively toward something greater. Dr. Verma’s musings illuminate this truth with warmth, clarity, and quiet authority.
Central to the book’s philosophy is the concept of oneness — the idea that true happiness is not an individual achievement but emerges from our connection to others, to purpose, and to the larger flow of life. As Dr. Verma writes, “Oneness initiates from approach towards happiness. And happiness is dependent on oneness.”
Whether you are someone who has long struggled with the paralysis of overthinking, or someone pushing hard toward success yet feeling an inexplicable emptiness — this book speaks to you. It is an invitation to live life king size, not in spite of your delays and struggles, but through a deeper understanding of them.
