What you do within five seconds of having a thought decides whether or not you will act. Waiting longer allows the mind to dissuade you often through fear of failure or rejection, or any number of negatives. In The Five Second Rule by Mel Robbins, this phenomenon is explored. Robbins posits that in order to be successful and fulfilled, we must get outside our comfort zones and practice making small decisions daily until they become positive habits.
SumoReads summary of this book, complete with and executive summary, key takeaways, and an editorial review that addresses its weak points as well as its strengths, is an excellent overview that will enable you in less than ten minutes of reading to determine if it’s worth the investment.

Captured the essence of the Five Second Rule

I have not read Robbin's book but have seen her on a few talk shows talking about her book. I thought the essence of her five second rule was described well in the summary...thank you! I can now start to use the five second rule with the information from your summary.
