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.

Just buy it. This book will change your life
sometimes we do know what to do but Nick explains the science behind why we don't do it and how we can change our bodies and our minds so we can do what we need to.
I'll definitely be listening to this book over and over.

Life changer (for me personally)
I've been on a path of personal development for years and everything builds on the other. This book was SO refreshing and different to other self improvement books I've listened to. It was really fun to listen to (despite the sometimes poor audio quality). I was delighted to learn something completely new (breathing and the brain functions) and for the first time in years I've listened to a book twice in a row, and still enjoyed it as much the second time around. Absolutely loved and enjoyed this book and would certainly recommend it to those who want to achieve what the title of the book says. It certainly has given me new angles to tackle goal setting and I'm excited to do what I know to do now :)

Excellent Book
Nick Hall Phd is an incredible scientist who is able to put across very complex subject into understandable bite size doable action points to help anyone who is well and truly stuck with immobilising beliefs about themselves. The title of this book truly follows through with what it actually says!

Incredible Book, great detail of research perform
I have listened to this book few times. this book covers an incredible amount of research of practical situations and how it connects to each and every area of your life. I have gone ahead recommended this book to several friends of mine even on my Facebook page, I believe loads and loads of people need to listen to it as I believe we are over thinking and getting lost in our own thoughts it's worth listening that it's normal and we can fix it.

An insightful experience
I’ve seen a number of negative reviews regarding this book. Personally I found the structure and sound quality distracting at first but then became immersed and very interested in the lecture format and the excellent delivery of very technical information.
I’ve learnt a tonne about the relationship between my brain and the effect that emotions, thoughts and behaviour have on my body. It’s incredibly inspiring

Obvious but beneficial
When I started to listen to this book, I didn't think I would see it to the end.
How wrong was I?
After a while you start to get to know Nick Hall and relate to his stories and mindset
I found myself totally enthralled with it and listened right to the end
And Yes, I have learnt from it and put into practice some of what he discusses
Recommended!

Something for everyone.
Anxiety is prevalent as our culture encourages comfort. Recover fast and crack on is a motivational message I had from this. Other 'mogul' type motivation will promote values and beliefs most will not truly believe within their conditioned responses. There's something for everyone what ever their personality type here.

Love it!
Nick is not only incredibly knowledgeable about why we d what we do but also he is an amazing story teller! There were maybe a couple of short chapters that were not that fascinating but other than that absolutely amazing book about why we do what we do and why we don't do what we want to do! Exactly as the title says. Recommend 100%!
