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

Absolutely love. Started amazing. Already using the rule and making fantastic changes in my life! Im very excited to see how this rule continues to impact my life

This book was a great read and exactly what I needed in the moment. It has opened my eyes to a lot of things about myself. It has highlighted a lot of things I need to change and a lot of opportunities I have missed. Feeling stuck? Read Mel's book.

I wish this was a requirement to read for every person finishing high school and beyond. Quick page turner and a game changer.

The last few years I have been on a journey to learn to overcome procrastination, be more productive, and realize my highest potential. I have been learning many great strategies and methods for achieving these goals, but, like the old saying goes, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions!" At some point you have to overcome inertia and actually start practicing those strategies and methods. I believe the 5 Second Rule is the key that I need to push myself off the bubble of good intentions and on to the road to actually doing what I am learning.I would have given this book a fifth star, but I was disappointed in one thing: the lack of citations from all the research the author did concerning the techniques and strategies she lays out. For many readers this won't matter, but I am the type that likes to understand the science behind such things. That said, the rule itself is simple, and the examples Robbins supplies from the many people who have benefited by it speak for themselves. I honestly believe that this book could be just what most people who are stuck in unsatisfactory lives need to get themselves unstuck.

Very good information that is easy to put into practice. Life changes are hard to make any many motivational reads become complicated. This book puts things in a perspective that's easy to follow and understand and can be put into practice.

Wow I have really enjoyed this book. As I read through the book my life started changing. I get up at 6:30am now and start getting things done. I have been so motivated, crossing to do things off of my to do list, and really getting things done as soon as the pop up in my mind. I can’t recommend this life changing book enough! I love the 5 second rule and can’t wait to start following my heart more.

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.

I will give anything that Mel Robbins writes a five star
