I love this book

I love this book. The 5 second rule has already been helpful to me because I overthink things a lot. I like the stories from others who are using the rule and the information why it helps you. It is very well written. Mel Robbins is awesome.The only thing I didn't like was some of the print in the hardcover book is very small,but other than that i thought it was great.

Disappointed

Worst cut and paste book with too little content and too many testimonials that off balanced the flow.

I Love Mel Robbins!

This was my first exposure to Mel Robbins and she ROCKS! I love her "down to earth" style. She is real. Her recommendations are practical, so anyone can do them! Both my husband and I have enjoyed the book and listening to her read the book on Audible. She is AWESOME!

This shouldn't count as a book

I tried the audible version. Made it half way before finally giving up. The concept might be fine, but certainly not worthy of a book. As many others have pointed out, there is a complete lack of substance. The whole thing; at least as much as I could bear, was just examples of people originally not wanting to do something and then changing their mind and doing something. More often than not, these examples resulted in nothing positive happening for those people; other than knowing that they took action.

Honestly, half way through I was certain that the author wrote this on a dare, 'take a very simple idea and see how many pages you can fill up', I can only assume that she counted down to 1, said yes and then succeeded.

This is probably the worst 'book' I've ever come across, and I wish I could get my money back.

Coming back to edit this review a little. What really makes me mad is that the majority of the book is people talking about how great the 5 second rule is. So apparently this book want necessary at all since all those people learned the 'trick' elsewhere. This is just an ad for somebody.

Lots of cotton candy. No meat and potatoes.

The rule itself is great: marry an impulse (get healthy, write that novel) with an action (put on your running shoes, write for ten minutes) within 5 seconds. Take small steps to achieve your goals.

The book, on the other hand, is badly laid out, full of typos and errors and stuffed to the brim with filler (endless testimonials). She should have used the five second rule to hire a copy editor.

This isn’t a self-help book. This is a self-help essay that has been padded to excess to make you feel like it was worth the $15 you spent. Save your money. Check it out from the library (as I did) and/or just watch the Ted talk.
