The High 5 Habit: Take Control of Your Life with One Simple Habit Hardcover – September 28, 2021

Book that does make a difference in life ! Finally after a life of low self worth I have the confidence and better mood all day long ❤️

Inspiring with real life examples!It’s worth reading!

Truly a life changing read! It was hard to put down as I just wanted to keep reading. I love the many tools and the many stories to keep me interested and motivated to live a high five life. I appreciate Mel summing up the tools and giving us a routine to follow at the end of the books. I’d definitely read this again!

Another hit from Mel Robbin’s. She is impeccable at hitting the nail on the head with what’s going on and how to get through it or past it. A real page turner and I have already gifted it for a friend to read. Highly recommended

This book tackles all of the mental garbage caused by self-doubt, guilt, regret, and shame and gives great advice on how to flip them into much more helpful components of a positive, self-confident mindset. Mel provides personal and relatable examples and gives specific instructions for how to get started with doing it for oneself. My only objection is the implication that self-confidence "Guarantees a Great Life", a gross over-simplification of reality in my opinion. Nevertheless, I found it very encouraging and uplifting and would recommend it to anyone feeling down on themselves or stuck.

The High 5 Habit is exactly the book I needed right now. It's been a long last almost 2 years and this book came to right at the time I needed it. I'm a fan of Mel and pre-ordered my copy so was able to read it right when it arrived! I had really high expectations because of The 5 Second Rule and I didn't know if this book would be as good, but it really topped it. The book is loosely divided into 3 sections. First, Mel talks all about the power of a high five, the science of high fiving, and how to do the high five habit. I like how the book got right to the point and from the beginning included the most important information first. Then, she moves more broadly into how the brain changes and why we hold ourselves back and how with that information we can make changes through the high five habit. And she gives my favorite habit of the book, "looking for hearts" (which has a really deep meaning). The high 5 habit isn't one habit, there's actually many of them in the book.In the next section, she takes a turn and goes into the biggest things that hold us back from a high five life, and really dives into each thing, like jealousy, guilt, anxiety. And then gives habits to help with each. Mel also shares really honest and moving stories from her life and others, and doesn't hold back at all in describing her behavior in the past. Given how successful she is now, you know that the tools really really work. And then the final section, takes a turn and moves more into what I can only call the "deeper" realm. But with the flow of the book it really works. I don't want to give anything away but Mel shares 2 really powerful stories that illustrate what happens when you use these habits, and especially the one with the painting had me in tears. It was such a beautiful ending and somehow the book combines what you expect from this kind of book, motivational self help inspirational stuff, with memoir, really deep spiritual insights, a big pep talk, and it's still really easy and entertaining to read.I highly recommend this book to just about anyone of any age. And if you're skeptical too Mel lays it all out, there's so much science here. I feel like I have the tools to create a better relationship with myself and as Mel says, that sets the tone for everything in life. I also like how everything in this book is really easy and can be taught to people of any age. I'm definitely going to buy a copy for my daughter. Overall thank you so much Mel for writing such an amazing book and I'm excited to take the high 5 challenge (practicing the high 5 habit for five days in a row.)

Loved this book

Mel keeps it truly real. She gives you an inside look of her real story and family. She gives examples of real people and how to apply new views to difficult things in life. It isn’t just about giving yourself a high five, it’s a concept to think differently. Programming your brain and training yourself to think differently. This is what we all need. This book will help you tackle the world differently. First book I’ve read cover to cover since college many years ago. So glad I did. Thank you Mel if you read these still. This is a life changer
