Very VERY Americanised! (Us British will find it hard to listen)

I want to say I did enjoy this audible and you can always take away some key points!

However being British I really struggled with the Americanised 1 to 1 interviews where it did seem very very set up and false! Never felt genuine, Mels responses were far to quick before the individuals finished there sentences.

I prefer raw, factual, straight forward believable stories where they don’t feel set up, over the top and Americanised!

Yes you can take some good points but overall I would not have chosen this audio and I feel a lot of other British listeners will understand when I say there are some major Cringe moments at the American OTT mentoring going on.

I do not wish to run this audio down but I wanted to be honest.

I liked 5 second rule but this isn’t for me. (So much so I actually pressed the skip button through the interviews because I just couldn’t bring myself to listen to the way they were taking)

I can save you the bother of listening ...

...in one sentence...find out what provokes fear in you and 'address' it....not especially helpful. Seems like a nice enough woman but not life changing stuff. I'm not a big fan of case histories there's no 6 sizes fit all.

Frighteningly brilliant

This book should come with a warning!! “Do not read unless you want a profound wake up call”!!!

Seriously though, what an amazing experience to share other people’s stories and see yourself in (almost) every example. “I do that” “That’s me”

I guess now I have to face the fear, change the patterns and become the person I want, and deserve, to be. ❤️

Not for me this time

I normally LOVE Mel Robbins books, but this one just felt contrived. It is 'real' sessions with various people who are held back in achieving their goals due to the fears they hold. On some sessions Mel appeared to coax them into saying how they felt, by a strange coincidence, she too had the same fears/traits as each of the 3 sessions I listened to (I think there are 6)

I will be returning this book, I persevered with a few sessions in the hope it would improve, but to be honest the people just seemed to whinge, with no real issues that needed solving, it was like they just wanted to meet Mel Robbins, so said all the things they thought she wanted to hear, it even made me doubt they were real - it was nothing like Kick Ass which I absolutely loved.

I hope Mel does not churn out any other mundane books like this, stick to the coaching that you are absolutely brilliant at. Make people think differently to bring about change in their life....but not this nonsense with people crying because they had strict parents and they only got 93 in a test - Jeez!!!!!

AMAZING!

Mel has upped her game which I personally didn't think was possible. She takes the personal development game to a new level. This audio is helping me overcome my desire for perfectionism and get on with LIFE! Love you Mel xox

Amazing!

Truly on one the best I’ve listened to - and I’ve listened to many! Heaps of key takeaways resonated and brought me to tears as I had my own mini breakthroughs. Highly recommended.

The most powerful and valuable listen, ever

I’ve learned so much from this even though I’ve done a ton of work to figure me out in the last 10yrs.
It gets right to the point in a caring, no nonsense way which is deeply moving, helpful and refreshing.
Each coaching session Mel shares here had take aways for me. Now for the action.
I plan on returning here in 6 months with a new review and an update of how much I’ve improved my life after Mel so wonderfully spot lighted a multitude of issues and solutions to take action on.
Game changer.

absolutely loving this book

I've only listened to a quarter of this book so far, but I love, love, love what I'm hearing. I'm a huge fan of Mel Robbins and have other material/programmes that she has done, but this book so far is the best yet ! I love her down to earth manner and she really gets into your head. Her advice works, if you are willing to listen, learn and do the work one small brick at a time, you will breakthrough ! highly recommended. There's also a workbook to go with it which is once again excellent content, great practical guidelines.

Sorry, not for me

I don’t like to criticise books as books are knowledge and written by someone more knowledgeable than me about the given subject. I bought this as it appeared in recommendations given my listening history. Downloaded it having just read You’re A Badass by Jen Sincero so I was hoping of much the same. Different style and more of case studies than the actual author talking. The opening music also felt a little haunting. I’m sure there is a lot to learn from this book and I do appreciate it has helped so many others, but style not for me.

Very poor , very negative

Very negative , more like listening to therapy sessions of people complaining of the lack of control than actually teaching anything . lack of positive words .
