I will always and forever love Mel Robbins。

I listened to the audio version first， and kept learning new concepts about how to be kind to ME that I wanted to read， ponder and journal。Then my book arrived and I began on page 1 with a highlighter in hand。 This time I’m spending a full day on each chapter and thoroughly digesting these simple words that I’ve never accepted in my life。

Chapters 8 - 14 were phenomenal。 I felt like the first few chapters were a little repetitive。 Reading this with a biblical wordview， I was able to take any of the self-love and instead remind myself of who I am in Christ。 I did find so many things very helpful。

Thank you Mel Robbins for another amazing read。 Simple steps。 Will they change my life？ No clue。 But damn it is a good book。 Just so inspiring and informative and all around helpful。 Love， love， love this book！

I always enjoy listening to Mel's books on Audible on my drive to work。 She's so relatable and gives you practical and feasible ideas and steps to keep encouraging and celebrating yourself even when life gets tough， as it inevitably does。 I always enjoy listening to Mel's books on Audible on my drive to work。 She's so relatable and gives you practical and feasible ideas and steps to keep encouraging and celebrating yourself even when life gets tough， as it inevitably does。 。。。more

I love Mel Robbins， she has a lot of amazing insight and a way of making you feel seen， heard and supported。 I love that The High 5 Habit is backed by science。 My only downvote is the fact that she spoke of a psychic as if they are real。 They are scammers。 In a book that is supposed to be all about facts and truth and science， why put that in there？ A little surprised。 Otherwise， I think this book holds a lot of worth and can be really helpful！

A must read。。。a simple reminder that things happen for a reason。 So when things don't go our way， remember these 3 possible answers: it's not for you， it isn't the right time， and there is something better meant for you！ A must read。。。a simple reminder that things happen for a reason。 So when things don't go our way， remember these 3 possible answers: it's not for you， it isn't the right time， and there is something better meant for you！ 。。。more

Ser pesquisadora no Brasil acabou com minha autoestima e me levou a ler auto-ajuda， rs。Mas que livrinho poderoso， hein？ Me senti o Chandler ouvindo o audiobook， que lavagem cerebral efetiva。 Eu tenho um guilty pleasure com livros que trazem anedotas aleatórias e pesquisas comportamentais para comprovar essas histórias， fui pega。 （Minha psicanalista está ciente da heresia e nenhum coach foi contratado no percurso）。

Another great book by Mel Robbins ✨Basically tells you to have a high 5 attitude towards yourself in order to help you achieve your goals among other things。 Helps you reflect on self encouragement。 An entertaining read as well as a lot of good advice I will return to。

I had so many Ah’s moments reading “The High Five Habit。” I found Mel’s relatable， vulnerability， endearing and honest。 I love that she didn't hold back。 I had so many Ah’s moments reading “The High Five Habit。” I found Mel’s relatable， vulnerability， endearing and honest。 I love that she didn't hold back。 。。。more

I just want to gift this book to every single person I know 。。 or maybe to every teenager。 If you can listen to then book instead of reading it， it’s even better。

Excellent book！！ Mel definitely poured her heart and soul into this one。 The tools she offers in this book are so simple and easy to follow。 This really works！ I love the stories she shares throughout the book。 Her willingness to be open， vulnerable and real with us is so refreshing。 Thank you Mel Robbins for being you！ Thank you for this book！！

It’s so simple。 It’s so easy。 But is it really that easy？ Is it really that simple？ Could it really work？ Well I’m going to give it a try and do the challenge。 What do I have to lose？ I love the morning routine！！ Going to put that into practice for sure！！

At times simple & sweet， at others neurotic and anxiety-provoking。 The author is at her best when directing other people （there is a particularly effective example of her speaking to an Uber driver who wants to move to Hollywood and forcing himself to set a deadline of three weeks） and at her worst when talking about own life experience， which I found uncomfortably highly-strung， self-obsessed， and stress-inducing - unfortunately， this made up 90% of the book。

I’m a long time fan of Mel Robbins， but she really outdid herself this time。 She is my favorite of all the motivational speakers。 She is real， honest， genuine， and relatable。 I truly believe she cares about her audience， and this book had me laughing， crying， believing in myself， and yes， high-fiving myself in the mirror。 If I could give it more than 5 stars I would！

High-fiving yourself in front of the mirror really does lift your spirits 🙏🏽Good book。 Recommend it。You should celebrate yourself more， not only for your achievements。 Your worth goes far beyond how much money you make or how physically beautiful you are。

It was fine。 Largely a very-quickly-explained recommendation spun into something larger， and what felt like some additional notes from the author delivered in a kind of stream of consciousness。 Easily digestible for those who haven't read a lot of self-help; simplistic for veterans of the genre。 It was fine。 Largely a very-quickly-explained recommendation spun into something larger， and what felt like some additional notes from the author delivered in a kind of stream of consciousness。 Easily digestible for those who haven't read a lot of self-help; simplistic for veterans of the genre。 。。。more

I started this on Friday， October 1st and finished it on Monday， October 4th。 I started the High 5 Habit the same day， on Friday。 The next day， seriously， I started smiling at myself in the mirror。 On Sunday， I'm looking at myself， giving myself a High 5 and giggling。 It's like a heaviness has been lifted from my soul。 The concepts are simple， but the impact is profound。 I highly recommend you invest in yourself and start the High 5 Habit。 It's a gift you won't regret。 I started this on Friday， October 1st and finished it on Monday， October 4th。 I started the High 5 Habit the same day， on Friday。 The next day， seriously， I started smiling at myself in the mirror。 On Sunday， I'm looking at myself， giving myself a High 5 and giggling。 It's like a heaviness has been lifted from my soul。 The concepts are simple， but the impact is profound。 I highly recommend you invest in yourself and start the High 5 Habit。 It's a gift you won't regret。 。。。more

Audio book read by the author。 Good read。 If you love Mel Robbins you won't be disappointed。 Very real advice on how to care for and take care of yourself - the one person in your life that you tend to forget about。 Audio book read by the author。 Good read。 If you love Mel Robbins you won't be disappointed。 Very real advice on how to care for and take care of yourself - the one person in your life that you tend to forget about。 。。。more

I started this book thinking that it was just going to be smother self help book that I would read but not do anything with。 I was wrong。 Mel made this material so relatable and doable - simple and fun。 Just what I needed to hear at this time in my life。

The book would be a lot shorter if it stopped advertising itself（we get it and we've already bought it）。 I can't say the habit doesn't work but it's suprising a whole book can come out if it。 But what can you expect from a book about self congratulating？ Some touching stories and wishful thinking through the lense of confirmation bias。 'It worked for me， so it will work for you'。 I'd be interested in seeing brain scans to see the structural changes high5 can do for your brain。 Hints of support f The book would be a lot shorter if it stopped advertising itself（we get it and we've already bought it）。 I can't say the habit doesn't work but it's suprising a whole book can come out if it。 But what can you expect from a book about self congratulating？ Some touching stories and wishful thinking through the lense of confirmation bias。 'It worked for me， so it will work for you'。 I'd be interested in seeing brain scans to see the structural changes high5 can do for your brain。 Hints of support for MLMs （is your friends make up business doing well are you jealous） and claiming not to be toxic positivity but also asking you to flip negative thoughts or just say I'm not thinking that。 Saying that I'm still going to try the high5 habit for myself。 。。。more

I love the simplicity of this book。 Wake up。 Make your bed。 Ignore your phone。 Go outside。 Set an intention。 Brush your teeth。 Give yourself a high 5 in the mirror。 Tell yourself how fabulous and fearless your are。 Then go kick some major ass throughout the rest of your day and accomplish more of what you want out of life。
