You are capable. You know what you want. You have a list of goals, conversations, and commitments that have lived in your mind for months, maybe years. And connecting every item on that list is one word so familiar, so reasonable-sounding, that you have stopped noticing it. That word is BUT. Your BUT Got In The Way is the first complete diagnostic and intervention system for the seven behavioral patterns that keep capable people stuck. Drawing on 40+ years of research from Stanford, NYU, Carleton University, and Harvard, author Glenn Davis identifies seven distinct BUT Types - each with a different psychological root and a different required response - and delivers six evidence-based protocols matched to each pattern. The book includes a 63-item diagnostic assessment, a 30-Day BUT Elimination Sprint with daily structured action, the Identity Rewrite System for permanent behavioral change, and five visual framework diagrams.

This is not a book about time management or motivation. It is a surgical, evidence-based investigation of the specific cognitive mechanism that converts authentic desire into permanent delay - and a complete protocol for dismantling it. For entrepreneurs, professionals, and anyone who keeps not doing the thing they most want to do.
