Summary

I Don't Want To, I Don't Feel Like It draws on Zen Buddhist awareness to explore the pervasive feeling of resistance that can halt action and foster self-criticism. Through practical exercises and insightful guidance, Cheri Huber and Ashwini Narayanan reveal how this inner voice, often manifesting as procrastination or self-doubt, operates as a survival mechanism rather than a personal flaw. The book offers tools to recognise resistance, detach from its influence, and ultimately reclaim freedom from its control.

Description

Employing the tenets of Zen Buddhist awareness practice, I Don't Want To, I Don't Feel Like It provides numerous exercises and self-help tools for working through problems with resistance. The book reveals how resistance operates in everyday life and guides readers to consider how they can be free of it.

The teachings show how to recognise resistance in its many forms, not take it personally, and be free of its control. The central message is that the voice of resistance—thoughts such as "I'll do it later"—is not personal; everyone experiences it. It is the voice of a survival system that can swiftly take people from commitment to inaction.

Following this, self-critical voices often emerge, criticising for not following through and feeding thoughts of failure, shame, and lack of self-discipline.
