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.

• 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

Kick-start your motivation using gratitude, employ compassion to build your network, and take pride to maximise success.

Using cutting-edge research, world-leading psychologist David DeSteno shows you how positive emotions are far more powerful than willpower and self-denial in achieving your goals. Willpower is quickly depleted, but our prosocial emotions become stronger the more we use them. Even better, they’re contagious.

· Cultivating gratitude, compassion, and pride leads to better cardiovascular health, immune function and sleep

· Students who feel proud of their work will work 40% harder and longer than others

· Empathy and compassion are the best predictors of team success

Our prosocial emotions evolved specifically to help us resist immediate temptations in favour of long-term gains. But they can also be adapted to strengthen our bonds with our own future selves – who will benefit most from the grit we need to succeed in life.

We all want something in life. There are things we want to have, things we want to do, things we want to be. The question is 'How do we go about making them happen?' Fil Biggs has formed a simplified process that takes you through a journey of personal growth and discovery, and leaves you with what you need to bring your ideas and desires to reality. With the tools and teachings in this book you can begin creating a life that you want and making it happen now.

This chronicle unfolds the journey of a girl who found her destiny and purpose under threat. Almost drowned by insecurities, guilt, bitterness, the struggle to forgive self and move forward, she encountered a Father who refused to give up on her despite the circumstances. It is a memoir about finding hope and freedom from the chains that bind us and keep us from our purpose and destinies, tackling issues that are often brushed off yet deeply affect us and influence the decisions we make. It highlights the hazardous effects of unattended wounds that affect our lives in undesirable manners. This is not a physical battle but one of the mind, heart and spirit. This is a personal experience that continues to encourage us that the courage is in getting up and getting out, whilst the faith is in taking the journey into an unknown place yet fully trusting that God Almighty is directing our paths and will not forsake us.

When you press the action replay button on your life, will it only contain images such as doing the ironing, watching TV and writing emails? Or will it contain something more extraordinary and adventurous such as paddling the Mekong, sailing around the world or skiing to the South Pole? The more we live in our comfort zone, the less we achieve, and the more stuck we will find ourselves in our safe, controlled place. When we live a full life, enriched with adventure, experience and wonder, we feel alive and vibrant. Sometimes the frailty or finality of life's dead-line provokes us to fully live. We don't want to be lying on our deathbeds regretting all the things we haven't done. This book will inspire you to live your life to the full - to seize the day and savour the moment. Life is an adventure, so go explore. We are all so much more amazing than we realise.
