Book Club: The Five Second Rule

In The 5 Second Rule: Transform Your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage, Mel Robbins talks about an important tool that can help readers learn to push themselves, instead of relying on teachers, friends, parents, coaches, and mentors for motivation. Find out what makes a “push moment” and how it will enrich your life and move you forward on the path to success. This powerful tool takes just five seconds and once it becomes a habit, is a simple but effective solution when it comes to our tendency to hold ourselves back and keep ourselves from happiness.

Book Review: Remember to Live:

Embracing the Second Half of Life
Remember to Live discusses the importance of living your life now, and “remembering to live” by keeping your priorities clearly before you and using your time, talent, energy, and material resources accordingly. When we face the fact that life is not limitless, it clarifies our vision and intention. We stop putting things off for “someday.” None of us can escape life experiences like aging, illness, loss, or death. Do we deal with those reminders with fear and trepidation or with a desire to learn the lessons they have to teach and to continue growing through our encounters with them?

Book Review: The Antidote

Happiness for People Who Can’t Stand Positive Thinking. Oliver Burkeman shows readers it’s OK to start rethinking what our attitudes are towards death, the unknown, and failure. This unconventional self-help book shines a light on people who actively face the “negative” things in life to find a unique path to happiness and success. The Antidote proposes that what makes us feel insecure, anxious, and unhappy is avoiding or eliminating things we think will make us feel that way. As it turns out, this philosophy can be linked to the ancient Roman Stoics and even Buddhists. In The Antidote, Burkeman introduces us to people doing things a different way.
