The 5 Second Rule: Transform your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage Hardcover – Unabridged, February 28, 2017

Read it twice. I got even more out of it the second time. This book has helped me to move past my analysis paralysis and do things out of my zone. Talk to strangers, explore places I have never been, bring up that compliment that will brighten someone’s day, try new coffee shops, etc. Personal growth on steroids. Life is too short to avoid risks. Your new life is one book away. Read it. 😀

Just like everyone else has said.... It seemed stupid to high 5 myself every morning, but now when I'm running late in the morning and don't have time to stop and high 5 myself, I miss it! What a great book, what a great self confidence builder!

I must say I was quite reluctant to read this book. I was a non-believer, but as I was reading this book, I decided to try it out and it works. I own a small gym so I passed it on to one of the girls who said she used it this morning to get herself up to come workout. I was so excited to hear her say that. Can't wait to see what else comes out of this.

Good book. Fast Delivery!!!

I really enjoyed this book an will recommend to others. I plan to try the wake up routine tomorrow an get back into yoga!! Thanks Mel!

Heard about this book on the radio and was so glad I found it.Very well written and helpful.

I am so torn. I love the #5SecondRule. Mel Robbins is a rock star. I love her TED Talk, and other interviews I've seen her on. The book is filled with solid, actionable information that I am putting into action in my own life with awesome success. Kudos Mel Robbins! For that I'd give it 5 stars, no doubt.The constant stream of "social proof" via the social media posts broke the flow of the text, and constantly took me out of the experience. One at the end of each chapter to bring home how to integrate the information into the reader's life? Sure. But one almost every page, and sometimes twice? C'mon! The format was simply too long for the amount of actionable information given, and the social proof stuff felt like fillers to justify the length of the book. Another reviewer wrote that the actual information given could've easily fit into a blog post, and I think they're correct. For that I'd give it 3 stars.For the love of humanity, somebody - preferably a PROFESSIONAL editor - please, please, PLEASE edit this freaking book! I have a rule that once I start a book, I finish it, but the editorial mistakes were so pervasive that it was almost unreadable. (And I'm not talking about the "UR" or other grammatical errors on the social media posts either!) It got so bad that it actually started to piss me off. So much so that I actually took note of the publisher, and will avoid books from them in the future because of the epic editorial fail. If Ms. Robbins paid for an editor, she got ripped off. I was so grateful to reach the last page because it meant I was through with the book, but I don't think any author wants people to close their book in relief to be done with it. For that, I'd give it -0 stars if that were possible, and demand that the publisher's slew of proofreaders/editors give her her money back. The publisher did her an enormous disservice. Shame on them!I've actually given this book as a gift to several people I know who will get a lot of it, but it comes with the caveat that the editing is sub par, for sure.

This book was better than I thought it would be, and I already had high hopes. It’s great if you need a boost of motivation, OR courage/confidence. The stories shared really give you a “can do” attitude!
