About this listen
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 secret isn't knowing what to do - it's knowing how to make yourself do it.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

BUY THIS BOOK NOW
I still have an hour and a half left in this book but I can't say enough about it. I was a consistent snooze button pusher for my whole adult life and Since reading this book I haven't hit it once! I am 5-4-3-2-1ing myself to do soooo many things that I would normally continually push off. I can't say enough about this book and once I get my next credit I will be buying Another Mel Robbins book for sure.

Forever Inspired <3
I discovered when you truly listen to yourself and follow through you are much happier. We don't typically ask our self for advice or answers and listen - we act off emotions and others. I'm much happier since listening to myself and taking a moment - breath - to acknowledge who's thoughts are truly important. Thank you also for the tips to deal and understand my anxiety.
