In all seriousness, I was a little underwhelmed with this book. I felt like Mel was trying to sell the method of the 5-Second Rule not only to me, the reader, but even herself. The plastered pages of social media posts in the book, from people using the method,
All that said, taken at face value, the method is one good tool to have in the box when trying to manage your thoughts. There are many other tools that produce similar outcomes, but this is one. I'm just not sure I would have written an entire book about it, although I guess the added revenue stream is probably nice. I'll definitely use the method where it fits, but it's not going to be the one thing that transforms my life as much as this book promises to do so.
