From Mel Robbins, #1 podcast host, best-selling author and expert on change and motivation.

In her global phenomenon The 5 Second Rule, Mel Robbins taught millions the five second secret to motivation. Now she's back with another simple, proven science-backed tool you can use to take control of your life: The High 5 Habit.

Don't let the title fool you. This isn't a book about high fiving everyone else in your life. You're already doing that. Cheering for your favorite teams. Celebrating your friends. Supporting the people you love as they go after what they want in life.

Imagine if you gave that same love and encouragement to yourself. Or even better, you made it a daily habit.

You'd be unstoppable.

In this encouraging book, Mel teaches you how to start high fiving the most important person in your life, the one who is staring back at you in the mirror: YOURSELF.

If you are:

• · Struggling with self-doubt (and who doesn't?) …
• · Tired of that nagging critic in your head (could somebody evict them already?) …
• · Successful but all you focus on is what's going wrong (you're not alone) …
• · Sick of watching everybody else get ahead while you sit on the couch with your dog (don't bring your dog into this) …

...Mel dedicates this book to you.

Chapters Include:

• You Deserve a High 5 Life
• Science Says This Works
• I Have a Few Questions...
• Why Do I Torture Myself?
• Am I Broken?
• Where's All This Negative Crap Coming From?
• Why Am I Suddenly Seeing Hearts Everywhere?
• Why Is Life So Easy for Them and Not Me?
• Isn’t It Easier If I Say Nothing?
• How About I Start . . . Tomorrow?
• But Do You Like Me?
• How Come I Screw Everything Up?
• Can I Actually Handle This?
• Okay, You May Not Want to Read This Chapter
• Eventually, It Will All Make Sense

It's time to give yourself the high fives, celebration, and support you deserve.

With this book, you'll learn how to:

• · Use the High 5 Habit to overcome negative self-talk and limiting beliefs
• · Create a clear vision for your life and set goals that align with your values
• · Take consistent action towards your goals, even when you don't feel like it
• · Develop a mindset of resilience and perseverance
• · Achieve more success and happiness in all areas of your life

“When I stopped trashing myself and started giving my reflection a high five instead, it was more than an encouraging gesture on a low day. It flipped that self-criticism and self-hatred on its head. It changed the lens through which I viewed my life.

That was the beginning of a massive shift in my life. A line in the sand. The beginning of a brand-new connection to the most important person in my life—myself.

A new way of thinking about myself and about what was possible for me. It inspired me to create an entirely new way of experiencing life. That’s why I wrote this book.

It’s time to cheer for YOU.”

Love,
Mel Robbins

Do you trust the voice in your head? Our brains are remarkable. They subconsciously translate the events around us into meaningful storylines that inform what we think and how we live. The problem is, the stories our minds feed us as facts aren't always true. Worse, these stories turn into false beliefs about others, the world, and ourselves that keep us from our true potential. These limiting beliefs confront us all. But what if you could harness your brain's operating system to tell a new story? Not just any story. A true story that empowers you to overcome limitations and surpass your goals. Drawing upon the latest insights in performance psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science, as well as case studies from their own clients, New York Times bestselling author Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller outline a framework anyone can follow to test their own assumptions and start living better, truer stories that shape superior outcomes in business and life.

For the first time in history, we have instantaneous access to the world's knowledge. There has never been a better time to learn, to create and to improve ourselves.

This eye-opening and accessible guide shows how you can easily create your own personal system for knowledge management, otherwise known as a Second Brain. A trusted and organised digital repository of your most valued ideas, notes and creative work, a Second Brain gives you the confidence to tackle your most important projects and ambitious goals.

Communication is crucial to success in life and business. However, it is not just big speeches that matter: it is also those critical, spur-of-the-moment situations for which we cannot prepare.

A prospective client asking unexpected questions during a sales pitch, a teacher singling you out for an answer during a class, a high-pressure meeting with senior executives at work, or even a heartwarming toast to deliver on the spot. All are fraught scenarios that might cause you to freeze up. The pandemic has only boosted this fear, by stripping the spontaneity from communication during lockdown, and then changing the communication landscape.

In this invaluable guide, Matt Abrahams – Stanford University lecturer and creator of the hit podcast, Think Fast, Talk Smart – provides a six-point methodology that will enable you to manage these stressful, impromptu circumstances to create and deliver crisp, compelling and calm communication. Think Faster, Talk Smarter is an energetic, engaging resource for anyone who wants to speak out, spread their ideas, and ultimately share their story.
