The 5 Second Rule

Mel Robbins
. Rating:

/10

The rule is simple but effective. Over time it becomes a habit, and you’ll notice that you can get yourself to do many more things on command, especially those that your instincts suggest you should do but that scare you. I’m giving a high rating because the rule works, although the book itself is somewhat repetitive. Watching the TEDx video might save you time, but I preferred reading the book to let the concepts sink in.

Recommended. It is the natural continuation of his previous book, Deep Work.
