I Know What to Do So Why Don't I Do It? - Second Edition : The New Science of Self-Discipline

The author examines all 10 of the most common excuses for inaction, and gives you specific strategies for dealing with each one.

What''s Your Excuse? 

Life becomes complicated when you realize that the motivation to start or delay a task is a tug-of-war between positive and negative emotions. Don’t blame lack of willpower, laziness, or low motivation if you aren’t achieving your goals. 

Motivation is not a skill. Like a muscle, it’s subject to fatigue when stretched. That’s why fascinating research in the field of psychoneuroimmunology has revealed another reason you may feel paralyzed to take action—one with the potential to dramatically transform your life.

In this completely updated edition of Dr. Nick Hall’s popular book, he shows you how to unlock the biochemical code that will free you to easily achieve any goal in life. And while the biochemistry may be complex, the solutions are actually quite simple.

What’s your excuse? This book examines ten of the most common excuses for inaction and gives you specific strategies for dealing with each one. You will learn— 

• An extraordinarily powerful stress-fighting tool that few take advantage of
• An easy way to instantly regain control and stay focused in an emotional emergency
• The mistake almost everyone makes when they organize their to-do list
• The way to reset your internal clock for a positive impact on your energy level--and more
