I Know What to Do, So Why Don't I Do It?

The New Science of Self-Discipline

By: Nick Hall

Narrated by: Nick Hall

Stop not doing what you know you should do!

You might think laziness, lack of willpower, and/or low motivation are to blame for the fact that you aren't achieving your goals. But fascinating research in the field of psychoneuroimmunology has revealed another, far more likely possibility. One with the potential to transform your life in a dramatic way.

The typical excuses for not doing what you know you should - I'm too stressed out... I don't have the time... I don't have the energy, etc. - are, in fact, manifestations of a complex, interconnected web of psychological, chemical, and neurological factors.

When activated, these factors can effectively paralyze you - making it virtually impossible for you to take the actions needed to create change in your life.

In other words, even if you're highly motivated...if you've got these internal circumstances operating, you aren't going to be able to do it.

But while the biochemistry may be complex, the solutions are actually quite simple.

Dr. Nick Hall reveals these solutions - and the fascinating science behind them - in I Know What to Do, So Why Don't I Do It? You'll learn:

• An extraordinarily powerful stress-fighting tool that very few people take advantage of.
• An easy way to instantly regain control and stay focused in an emotional emergency.
• Six things to do when you think you've taken on more than you can accomplish in the time you have.
• The mistake almost everyone makes when they organize their to-do list.
• A simple exercise that can instantly tell you which side of your brain is dominant at any given time.
• The first-thing-in-the-morning action that will literally reset your internal clock and have a profoundly positive impact on your energy level for the rest of the day (and it is SO easy to do!).

Listened twice

This book puts a new perspective of cause and cure for procrastination, stress, anxiety to name a few. Loved it and probably will listen to it a third time down the road a bit! Highly recommend

Yes

Any additional comments?

Thanks. Nice book, voice. Never felt like stopping

Surprisingly good!

I wasn't expecting this audio book to be a series of very interesting lectures by Dr. Nick Hall. I found myself engrossed in the content and depth of the scientific background supporting Dr. Hall's information. This seems to be one of those no-nonsense books that one must study a number of times, and incorporate the practices explained in detail which will undoubtedly lead anyone willing to succeed.

The background music is annoying

The background music is not necessary. Distracting. Good content. Voice is pleasant. No music would be better.
