Summary

The 5 Second Rule: Transform your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage Audiobook by Mel Robbins focuses on transforming one’s life by making informed decisions using the 5-second rule. Mel Robbins started out as a lawyer and then made her name as a powerful and motivational speaker. The author says that everyone has their moments of fear, difficulties, and uncertainty which restrict people to live their lives to the fullest. The author says that the 5-second rule can change anyone’s life. The rule is simple to understand. One simply has to count backward, 5-4-3-2-1 and then GO-take action.

Robbins says that by counting backward the mind moves away from any distractions and excuses and it can move forward. The author says the 5-second rule will drive action and lead to positive results. The author believes that taking one simple step forward will create momentum and drive action. She also says that motivation is not needed to do the necessary things in life. The only way to make progress and bring significant improvements in life is to take action without waiting for motivation to do so.

Robbins reasons that it is the small moves in life which matter more than the big ones. Not taking any action thinking the move is small is detrimental as these small moves add up over time. The purpose of the 5-second rule is to change the behavior pattern. It aims at eliminating the bad habits and/or encouraging new habits. It also helps in taking control of one’s mind by removing the negativity and feeding only positivity.
