Description

Throughout your life, you've had parents, coaches, teachers, friends and mentors who have pushed you to be better than your excuses and bigger than your fears. What if the secret to having the confidence and courage to enrich your life and work is simply knowing how to push yourself?

Using the science of habits, riveting stories and surprising facts from some of the most famous moments in history, art and business, Mel Robbins will explain the power of a “push moment.” Then, she’ll give you one simple tool you can use to become your greatest self.

It takes just five seconds to use this tool, and every time you do, you’ll be in great company. More than 8 million people have watched Mel’s TEDx Talk, and executives inside of the world’s largest brands are using the tool to increase productivity, collaboration, and engagement.

In The 5 Second Rule, you’ll discover it takes just five seconds to:

Become confident
Break the habit of procrastination and self-doubt
Beat fear and uncertainty
Stop worrying and feel happier
Share your ideas with courage

The 5 Second Rule is a simple, one-size-fits-all solution for the one problem we all face —we hold ourselves back.

The secret isn’t knowing what to do—it’s knowing how to make yourself do it.

  • Watch The TED Talk Instead

    I absolutely adore Mel Robbins, but save yourself $10.00 and watch the TED talk or her podcast episode on the 5 Second Rule. You’ll save yourself a lot of time and learn just as much about the 5 Second Rule (and much more) and how she applied it in her own life. The book is overly repetitive and is mostly social media posts and testimonials. Her other book, The High Five Habit, is much better.

    I loved her intake and story of the 5 second rule. I love that she put real life stories and messages from readers and spectators. I definitely recommend!
  • Great stories about people using the rule, not much else

    Love Mel and all her talks, but the book didn’t have a lot of helpful context. It was stories of people using her rule and how it helped more than anything else. If that’s your thing, you’ll love it. I was looking for something different.
  • Fantastic and simple advice.

    It takes 5 seconds to take action or you will talk yourself out of taking action. Trust your instincts. That’s it. That’s the book.

    Embarrassing simple technique but it WORKS! The author has been there...struggling to take the actions she needed to take, knew she “should” take, wanted to take, but was stopped by....what? Read the book and find out! It really does work!
