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:

• Too much knowledge—information overload
• Too much negativity—an inadequate filtering system
• 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.
