About this listen

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!).

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It is too scientific, too in-depth, listening to it is like wading through treacle.

What was most disappointing about Nick Hall’s story?

His voice drones on. He is very brilliant but too caught up in the minutiae

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Nick Hall?

Todd Smith (Cycle of Duplication). His enthusiasm is infectious.

Did I Know What to Do, So Why Don't I Do It? inspire you to do anything?

Not really, I know it's a clever book but I found the delivery so tedious my mind kept wandering.

Any additional comments?

I know this man knows his subject inside out, but this book was hard work because it was more like a science tome than a self-help book.

Too scientific for my needs

The majority of this audio book is brilliant and thought provoking. Then some awful exec from Nightingale Conan does a bullying sales pitch which is just gauche, then conducts an interview with the author with as much authenticity and personality as a plastic sheep. Truly dreadful. Stop listening at chapter 13 and you’ll love this audio book.

Right up to chapter 14 this is 5 star. Then it’s atrocious

The content and delivery of this audio book is superb. I was hanging off every word - it made sense on so many levels - not full of pseudo psycho musings - but proper scientific and biological facts - combined with well balanced explanation of research along with relevant anecdotes. Can't recommend enough.

Just brilliant

The best audiobook I have come across. Some truly magnificent incite into why we as people do the things we do. Scientific yet easy to understand ways to change your life one impactful step at a time.

Inciteful gem of a audiobook

excllent work, I bought his next one right after finishing this one.
In fact research work done by people like him are all invaluable.
I admire greatly the will power , dedication and hard work which is the hall mark of such people. They are the people who have promoted humanity throughout the history.

Insightful
