Summary

How to enrich your life and destroy doubt in five seconds.

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 eight 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.

Practical and Inspirationa

I love the real-life situations explained in this book which emphasize how this great principle can be applied in so many ways, through different aspects of action-taking whether it's mental, emotional, expressive or physical action-taking. It definitely encourages me to just decide and act more and faster on the things that can make my life better!

A wonderful tool

I was initially put off by some of the low score reviews and comments, but I'm so glad that I went with my heart and purchased.

Love how examples of the rule are given in the book, and Mel telling her journey with the rule too. Even as I as listening to the book I was finding that I was procrastinating less and building my confidence with actions! Definitely recommend to listen.

A lightbulb moment!

Brilliant book.
Mix of science, her experiences and struggles and impact on others was very powerful.
A good, no brilliant book is one that helps people take action. This I will be doing and sharing with others.
