Publisher's 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.

Oh my F ing God

I cried when you finished chapter 21.
Thank you for your thorough research and for your careful construction of this book.
I’ve done loads of training and read loads of books!
By far, this is the most transformational ever.
I’ve always admired 5.30am risers. I’ve done it all week and love myself sick over it.
I have avoided answering the phone and making calls opting for texts and smsing.
I answered my phone and was rewarded with a great booking. I started quite a few good balls rolling and more enquiry is occurring then ever. I need to convert the enquiry but I can feel and see the tangible shifts.
My service as a mindset and life coach is going to be that much more effective!
I love your guts MEL xx

Great but badly edited

The message is great and examples inspiring. The audio however is disappointing due to the bad editing. Duplication of sentences and words re read should be cleaned up before being put out as a finished audio book.

Great concept

Great concept, learned a lot from the first 30 mins.
The rest of it is just reinforcing the same point and doesn't really feel necessary.

Amazing concept!

The 5 second rule is wonderful! I started using it straight away! Really transformative. I will say that the book kinda drags on given that you can explain the rule in a minute. Lots of the elaboration was great but some of it felt repetitive.
