This is an epic life changing book! I love all Mel’s books and her audiobooks too. I always read them and listen to her audiobook narrated by her! It is a whole new level!! She is my inspiration and hero.
Wow! This was so interesting to listen to and I learned something from each session. Very powerful and Mel Robbins is just the best! Was a free pick on audible and a great listen!
I listed to this book on audible which I believe is the best way to access this book because you hear from the individuals that take part as those that are getting coached.
A number of the people that were coached were very relatable with their processing in response to a situation. If someone listens to this and doesn’t resonate with at least one person, I’d be shocked. It’s a fantastic experience which is an honour to be a part of, hearing the challenges and how they have overcome what they have to date. Mel Robbins can certainly be direct at times and I think it was needed in areas, some I felt uncomfortable but I know Mel would pick this up and have an answer as to why it made me feel uncomfortable at times.
This is the third Mel Robbins book I have finished and it was certainly alternative but resounding with the same messaging. I believe everyone should have a Mel Robbins in their life, if only accessing via social media or reading her material. It’s made a huge difference to my life.
Not what I would call a ‘book’ or even an audiobook - it’s more like a series of podcasts backed together into one recording.
Some interesting ideas and I don’t mind Mel Robbins’ no nonsense straight talk but at times it does feel like she acts in a role that she doesn’t have the credentials for - one of therapist. She’s careful to remind everyone that she isn’t a therapist and encourages several of the people she speaks with to speak with professionals but her manner and method feels like therapy and I don’t know how I feel about that.
Anyway, I’m not going to count this towards my reading goal for 2025 because it’s not a book but I’m glad it’s off my Audible TBR list.
I like Mel Robbins a lot. What stood out to me with this book was that the featured “clients” had different problems, by far, but the themes as to why and how to move forward were pretty much the same. 1. Identify the underlying and REAL issue, 2. Own it, 3. Name the old problematic behavior, 4. Put it in the past and move forward (but expect and accept that regression happens and it’s ok). Also, I like that she is clear about being a coach, not a therapist, and firmly directs the people who should be at a therapeutic level of care to one. My only ding on the whole book is that a 40 minute coaching session rarely brings the clarity and resolution that all of these do… a little unrealistic but it works for the format!
If you're struggling in your life, and know you can't do it all on your own, give this book a read, or two, or three, to see if any ideas here might help.
Perhaps just knowing you aren't the only one going through what you're going through, will help.
From reading this book I feel like I listen and talk with people more Empathetically now.
This book is now on my Christmas Gift Giving List.
I bought this during a recent Amazon sale and I almost threw in the towel immediately when I learned this is basically a podcast interview with a handful of people that have severe issues. But I stuck around mostly for MR’s summary and takeaways at the end of each chapter. These issues are way too specific to apply to most, but it was entertaining.
3.6 Mel listens to people with different stories assisting them in realising where they are stuck snd how they are being held back. I listened to this on audible and think for this book it is the only way to go as she is literally interviewing people.
I didn’t realize this was what seemed like excerpt from her podcast / show. I skipped over the last like 4 coaching sessions since they didn’t seem like topics I wanted to hear. Overall, an interesting book but am hoping I didn’t pay for this one and it was a deal or free!
Good stories of tough love that forces participants to acknowledge and face personality, traits and characteristics that are negatively impacting their life.
