This podcast provides an overview of Mel Robbins' book, The 5 Second Rule, a self-improvement guide focused on action-oriented behaviour change through a simple countdown technique (5-4-3-2-1).

The rule is presented as a metacognitive technique to interrupt hesitation and procrastination by activating the prefrontal cortex, fostering everyday courage in small acts.

The book illustrates how this method can be applied to enhance health, productivity, combat anxiety, and ultimately build real confidence and enrich relationships. It argues that courage is a skill built through action, not an innate feeling, leading to a more fulfilling life.
