Book Review: The Five Second Rule



Did you know, that most of your behaviours that sabotage your success are just habits that can be interrupted?


The 5 Second Rule helps people to interrupt the patterns of your brains.

You can't control the way you feel.  


You can not control your triggers. The things that create fear or self-doubt etc.  These are things that we usually try to change and when we fail, it makes us filled with more negative emotions.

But the things that you can control, is what you think and what you do.

I love Mel Robbin's practical way of communicating.

She is real. In her interviews, you find out that she had such bad postnatal depression, that she was on medication. This resonated with me, as I had worked that journey as well. Her journey of pin, debt, not wanting to act, to being enormously respected.  I love that this is a female author. That she is a wife and mother, who has gone through massive challenges.

If you have ever had anxiety, fear, debt, felt like you just can't get out of bed, then this book is for you.


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 8 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


This book is life changing.

This is a must-read. No matter what you are facing. This book can help you. It can help you train your children to grow.
