Book Review by Lucky One
I purchased “The 5 Second” book during a Lewis Howes YouTube video interview with Mel Robbins.
Viewing inspiring videos first thing in the morning had become part of my morning ritual. So had watching past my allotted time for it. The 5 – has been a game changer – especially when getting moving is important.
We lost our only child just before her 15th birthday to suicide. I found her, administered CPR and an ordeal with a coma ensued. The aftermath is a journey through grief leaving me with many issues. The simple became difficult and PTSD is what the doctors said I was experiencing.
The 5 Second rule has helped me stay on tasks, get going in the morning, find my mind when it feels gone, and focus on my business. Best of all – happiness and hope are a big part of my life AGAIN! The 5 has helped me feel alive when I needed it.
Book Review by joe
Save your money. This book was little more than “Here’s the rule now look at 100+ pages of social media screenshot testimonials.” Her advice is sound but I expected more from the book and find her ancillary materials have more substance.
