The High 5 Habit

By Mel Robbins

Categories: Self-Help

The High 5 Habit (2021) by Mel Robbins is a self-help book built on a simple daily practice: giving yourself a high five in the mirror. Robbins presents the gesture as a way to treat yourself with the encouragement usually saved for others. Chapters take on self-doubt, negative self-talk, comparison, procrastination and fear of failure, and she combines research on habits and the brain with personal stories and accounts from readers to show how small acts of self-support can change how people think and act.
