THE 5 SECOND RULE
TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE, WORK, AND CONFIDENCE WITH EVERYDAY COURAGE
Book • 2017
In 'The 5 Second Rule', Mel Robbins presents a simple yet powerful technique to overcome fear, self-doubt, and procrastination.
The rule involves counting down from five and taking immediate action when an impulse to act arises, thereby interrupting the brain's tendency to default to safety and inaction.
This behavioral activation strategy is based on Mel's personal experiences and research into overcoming barriers to self-confidence and clarity.
The book aims to help readers build everyday courage and live up to their full potential by acting despite their fears and doubts.
