This grab-the-reader-by-the-collar guide by a television and radio personality offers empowering advice to those who feel secretly frustrated and want to launch their lives in a new direction.
Why do over 100 million Americans secretly feel frustrated and bored with their lives? This hands-on guide from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Let Them Theory and The High 5 Habits explores that phenomenon-and reveals what you can do about it.
Mel Robbins, one of America's top relationship experts, 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."
