Overview or gist of what it discusses, what part

it has:

The book has 5 parts and 17 chapters. Each

chapter contain different lessons and situations
from posts of netizens transformed their life with
the help of five second rule. The part 1 conveys
about what is 5 second rule, why it works and how it
changes the life of people. Chapter 2 explain what
is courage and teaches to use it like we are not
feeling that we are progressing while chapter 3
contains several functions of courage for us to use
it to make changes in our behavior. Another, chapter
4 we will see a huge difference from what we could
be if we use the rule, somehow we will see ourselves
as a person free from procrastination, fear and
lacking of self-confidence this time a person will
conquer all. Lastly, this is the reality of
fulfillment that finally somebody brings his/her
power in her own hands.
 The self-development book 5 SECOND RULE by Mel
Robbins gave path to its readers to move forward
their life. I may say that this is fitted to those
who are willing to change themselves and made their
lives better. Procrastination, self-doubt and fear
of an individual will be abducted and transformed
you to attain enriched and productive life.

What I like about the book is that, it teaches

the readers on how they learn to handle situations,
to explore and to leave their comfort zone. The rule
aims to provoke an individual to make the right
decision, to prepare them in their daily routine and
it sets minds to do the right thing. According to the
rule” Counting and moving are actions” by counting
5-4-3-2-1 you wouldn’t be able just to think but to
move and do the things that you don’t expect that
you can.

“Life is not a one-and-done sort of deal.

You’ve got to work for what you want” A line from
chapter 6 that made me realize something. Life isn’t
just a piece of cake, though we face such failures
we should not quit until we succeed. Example of this
was Rovio the brand creator of the game Angry Birds,
it says that they launched 51 unsuccessful game
entry before they succeed.

Overall, I can say that this was a great book.

I myself, admits that I am not fan of reading but
what this book did to me was it boots my courage to
read the entire book even though it is time
consuming. To whom may read this book, before you
read it try to count 5-4-3-2-1 and decide if you
really wanted to read the entire book, it is because
if you don’t have the courage to read it as whole
you made nonsense and you wastes time for nothing.
READ IT! Read with your whole willingness. Read with
your whole passion to change.
