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.

Who knew!

I work with goal setting clients daily and after a blood clot hit my leg and a small hospital visit I decided to look deeper within. When someone suggested I read your book I truthfully chuckled at the title and even more so during the audiobook. That stupid rule REALLY resonated with me. I need to walk daily for my rehab and it’s painful and blah blah blah…. Everyone has their own prison but this really helped me get going. I also see the powerful application for my future. Thanks, it was delightful and I’m sharing it with my circle.

A must have tool for your life

Mel Robbins reads her own book with such passion and care, I loved it! She is able to draw you in her stories, making emphasis in the importance of following those wonderful instincts of ours, those which have the softest little voice and often go unacknowledged. She teaches us how to act upon them before they disapear into oblivion. She shares from many who's lives have changed, how little acts of daily courage can become a cornerstone to unbelievable transformation and living a life without regret.
