'Why CAn't I just Do it?'
The Neurobiology of Change
Welcome to the preview of my new book, Why Can't I Just Do It? In the right hand margin you will find links to 'audio-chapters' of my 'rough draft' and accompanying diagrams that are referenced in some chapters. Below are the written chapters.
I chose to publish this 'preliminary rough draft' of my book for a couple of reasons. First, I simply don't like to wait. I am excited to share what I have done so far, and I just don't feel like waiting until I am all done to share. Secondly, I am hoping that my 'listeners' and 'readers' will be so kind as to provide feedback in exchange for a free preview of my 'rough-draft'. I am not planning to hire an editor or a publisher, so I was hoping I could 'get a little help' from my audience. If something doesn't make sense to you, I would love to know!
I make no apologies for the quality of the audio-tapes. It is now November of 2020 and like many people I am 'working from home'. I have a lovely office with good sound proof walls that serves as a great studio. I haven't been there since March 2020 and I am not sure when, if ever, I will be going back (I am really falling in love with my virutal practice). In my home, I have not yet figured out where I am going to put my studio ~ all in due time. In the mean time I have recorded these rough drafts in my favorite place, my 3-season room, over-looking a beatifully landscaped corridor in our neighborhood with a pond in the middle. The weather was amazing this summer so the windows were open and the fresh-air was fantastic. So on the tapes you will likely hear birds chirping, dogs barking and mowers running in the background ~ the price you pay for having an 'open-air' studio I suppose. There are mistakes on the audios, I am well aware of that, but hopefully you can figure out what I meant to say. Those will be corrected in the next draft.
I have intentionally carved up the manuscript into approximately 2000-word chunks, depending on where the breaks 'felt natural'. This allows for about a 10MB audio-file which is the file size allowed by my server. This format is a bit cumbersome as compared to listening to a book on Audible, but again, the benefit to my listeners is that it is free. It costs me nothing extra to house the content on my own website this way. So thank you in advance for accepting the somewhat clumsy nature of this project as I advance it to completion.
Most of all ~ I hope you enjoy my musings and the information I so love to think about, talk about and write about. I love the concept of optimizing the quality of life, and if I can add to the body of knowledge that helps people to do just that, I am thrilled to be a part of it!
