“In a world where no one can lean on yesterday’s headlines, great leaders choose to be lifelong learners. So if you want to be a great leader and keep the edge, read this book and learn how to learn faster!”

About the Book

Know Can Do! is a teaching parable that tells the story of a well-known author who is troubled by the gap between what people know—all the good advice they’ve digested intellectually from books and seminars—and what they actually do.

Seeking a way to close this learning-doing gap, the author sets out on a journey to find a solution. He soon meets a legendary businessman who teaches him the three reasons people don’t make the leap from knowing to doing:

  1. Too much knowledge—information overload
  2. Too much negativity—an inadequate filtering system
  3. Bad habits—an inadequate learning system

The key to overcoming these roadblocks, the author learns, is spaced repetition. Important information must be repeated over time if it’s going to impact behavior.
