It will change your life
If you are looking for one person
Look in the mirror now!

I should be getting ready for work, but I press the timer button and pull the blanket back over my head to try to sleep in the rest of the time.
I decided to go on a diet, but it was too late at night to leave the house again to go to the gym.
I want to repair my relationships with my family and coworkers, but I'm afraid of how they'll react before I even bring it up.
In the end, you end up living a life where you can't do anything and are far from what you want.

It's not about anyone in particular.
It's our story.
Even for the author, who wanted to cultivate his own life more than anyone else, beginnings and changes were objects of fear.
All she had was an empty bank account, a business on the verge of bankruptcy, a broken career, a broken home, and alcoholism.
To overcome the difficult times when she couldn't be with her children, who were her everything, she received counseling from psychiatrists and other specialists, but sustaining change was never easy.

The "5-Second Rule," which allows you to initiate and sustain change in this very moment, was created by chance. A rocket launch scene on TV provided the hint.
Hearing the familiar five-second countdown, the author, who had difficulty even waking up in the morning, planned to kick out of bed like a rocket launch.
The next morning, luckily, I remembered my plan, and I was able to actually have the morning I had planned, as if it were a lie.

These five seconds changed just one thing, but they changed the greatest thing.
It was none other than "yourself." In "The 5-Second Rule," Mel Robbins, a top TEDx speaker and bestselling author, shares the concrete testimonies of countless people who have chosen change without hesitation, along with cutting-edge research, to teach you how to transform your life from inertia into the life you desire—in other words, how to become your own hero.

Waiting for the right time is useless.
Decide to start now!

In December 1955, a black woman refused to give up her bus seat to a white male passenger.
It was a time when racial discrimination was legally permitted.
Her spur-of-the-moment decision to keep her seat was surprisingly unplanned or well-thought-out.
The protagonist of this incident, which became the starting point of the civil rights movement, was not born as a great hero who would change the world from the beginning.
Rosa Parks, who lived a difficult life with her social activist husband, was an ordinary citizen.

What we need now is Rosa Parks' "decision to act."
We fear and worry about problems much smaller than those that plagued Rosa Parks.
The sound of the alarm waking you up in the morning is like that, and the meeting where new ideas are discussed is like that.
It stimulates our fears, makes us worry, and ultimately makes us give up on trying to change.
Countless innovations that could have changed the world have disappeared in the name of making the perfect choice.

We call the ability to do difficult or scary things 'courage.'
This book is filled with fascinating testimonies of those who, faced with the countless challenges we face every day, courageously transformed their daily lives, their lives, and the world.

Thoughts cannot move the body,
When you move your body, your thoughts follow!

The secret to finishing anything is to tell yourself and then get started.
The principle of the '5-second rule' proposed by the author is simple.
It's about pushing yourself beyond the thinking stage and into action.
The key is to count backwards: '5, 4, 3, 2, 1'.
After counting backwards, you can start as if you were launching a rocket.

This is related to what is called 'self-control' in psychology.
The 5-second countdown disrupts the inertial thinking that follows conventional thinking patterns, forcing our brains to focus on action instead of making excuses.
The author also says that pushing yourself to perform simple actions creates a chain reaction that increases your confidence and productivity.
Momentum comes when you push yourself to take small actions that improve your life.

5-4-3-2-1-start!
The moment you choose to act
Change begins

Deciding what to do in life is not a big deal.
It's a very small thing.
But in that moment of hesitation, we decide not to take action on small things.
Fear and doubt quickly take hold in our minds, instantly creating excuses for not speaking or acting.
Even a single moment of hesitation triggers a psychological system designed to block action.

If you're reading this book, you've probably come face to face with the fears, anxieties, habits, emotions, and excuses that have haunted and plagued you for years.
And you'll realize that you've wasted countless precious hours each day reflecting on the absurd situations you've encountered and waiting for things to change.

But there's no need to regret missing those 5 seconds that could change your daily life.
There are still countless 5 seconds left in our lives.
The author asserts that the '5-second rule' will end meaningless time.
The moment you feel the instinct to take action toward your goal, count backwards from '5-4-3-2-1' and move your body.
This book will give you the courage to start now, to stop being afraid of making decisions, no matter what the circumstances, and to become your own hero.
