This hands-on guide from Mel Robbins, one of America's top
relationship experts and radio/tv personalities, addresses why over 100
million Americans secretly feel frustrated and bored with their lives
and reveals what you can do about it.
Mel Robbins has spent her career teaching people how to push past their
self-imposed limits to get what they truly desire. She has an in-depth
understanding of the psychological and social factors that repeatedly
hold you back, and more important, a unique set of tools for getting you
where you want to be. In Stop Saying You're Fine, she draws on
neuroscientific research, interviews with countless everyday people, and
ideas she's tested in her own life to show what works and what doesn't.
The key, she explains, is understanding how your own brain works against
you. Because evolution has biased your mental gears against taking
action, what you need are techniques to outsmart yourself.
That may sound impossible, but Mel has created a remarkably effective
method to help you do just that--and some of her discoveries will
astonish you. By ignoring how you feel and seizing small moments of rich
possibility--a process she calls "leaning in"--you can make tiny course
directions add up to huge change. Among this book's other topics: how
everything can depend on not hitting the "snooze" button; the science
of connecting with other people, what children can teach us about
getting things done; and why five seconds is the maximum time you should
wait before acting on a great idea.
Blending warmth, humor and unflinching honesty with up-to-the-minute
science and hard-earned wisdom, Stop Saying You're Fine moves beyond
the platitudes and easy fixes offered in many self-help books. Mel's
insights will actually help vault you to a better life, ensuring that
the next time someone asks how you're doing, you can truthfully answer,
"Absolutely great."
