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

A clear and concise plan to enable me to make changes to my physiology and thinking when required.

I would have like to feel that I have a relatively easy plan to follow that would allow me to change my physiology as required but this was lost in the explanations. A summary at the end of the book would have been helpful.

Boring

On balance I have to say I am disappointed with this book. I do not feel that I am now any nearer doing what I want to do, if that makes sense. So I am rather disappointed. There were interesting scientific explanations about physiology which I suppose, in fairness, does shed light on why we don't do what we want but I was hoping for something more to take away

I do not feel the book was well organised as it seemed to jump from one area to another and back again.

It's like listening to a seminar not an audiobook. You feel like someone just pressed record illegally and now you've stumbled across it. Quality is that bad. He drags on and on about nothing. Lots of filler stories. I wouldn't recommend this at all.

I thought this might be some awesome insight as to why I procrastinate sometimes and what actions I might take to combat that. Instead it's many hours of a droning Dalek like voice of some clever dude who seems to have mastered the art of saying a lot but not very much at the same time. So glad I didn't pay full retail for this. I gave it five hours but no more.

This is not an audiobook. It's a set of recordings of past seminars.
This means that you'll hear about the author's great kayaking achievements multiple times as well as lot of other repetition.
It is not very structured either. The final chapter for instance, starts with a 2 minute introduction about the author.
This is all a bit annoying, but once you revise your perception (as the seminars teach) it's not such a big deal.
I'm glad I listened to it in the end as it has some very interesting and posdibly useful info in it.
If it was turned into an audiobook, the listening time could probably be reduced by two thirds.

As others have said, more a series of lectures, with much repetition, than an audiobook.

Some useful tidbits, but certainly doesn't justify the title it has.

Maybe my expectations were too high, but that was due to the title and book blurb.

I think if Nick went back and listened to himself he might take this off the shelves. very disappionted to have wasted a credit on this.

I would recommend it only for people who already have enough willpower to go through poor sound (and editing) quality recordings. Comparing to quality of other productions, this one sounds surprisingly poor.I find the way the talks were edited quite annoying (music and fake interview at the end).

This audiobook consists of many 1h talks recorded with really poor quality equipment.Nick delivers his talks in very didactic fashion, that creates distance "teacher - student" like, even when he shares his personal stories.

I wasn't looking for inspiration, but for solid knowledge, facts, research results, etc.. In spite of over 10h of material, there was more Nick's own advice than details about specific studies.And in some cases, the physiological details were completely out of proportion comparing to the entire production.

I find the content valuable, but unfortunately poorly balanced. Also quite difficult to listen to because of Nick's "didactic" style.

Sorry but could not get past the stupid soundtrack that prevents me focusing on what is being read out. If I wanted to listen to music I would choose to do so, I expect it when watching a film not when I have purchased an audible book. I simply want it read, if a soundtrack must be added then make it optional and not force it on the listener

didn't like the conference feeling I got from this book, could not get into it at all. waste

This isn't an audiobook in the truest sense it's a series of lectures. The lectures themselves are absolutely excellent, but this means that the recording as a whole lacks a coherent structure and has a lot of repetition. It also means that if you came to this book expecting some practical guidance on curbing some of your more destructive habits and attitudes you'll have to dig for it.

The narration isn't a great performance but it's acceptable, however the recording quality is all over the place and the use of music is just plain awful. If you pick this up, grit your teeth and power through the first 10-15 minutes and you'll find the good stuff.

I recommend this audio book but it would really benefit from being rewritten and rerecorded to present the material in a better format.
