โข You've developed a cluttered, mostly unvarying
daily routine that seems endless

โข You worry that no matter what you do to stay in shape, the battle is already lost
โข You have a tendency when asked how you're doing to just say, "fine"
If any of the above sounds familiar, there's clearly something missing from your life. This book will help you discover what it is and how to win it back. Written by Mel Robbins, one of America's top career and relationship experts and radio/TV personalities, this hands-on guide not only shows you how to put your finger on the problem, it also reveals what to do about it.
Robbins 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 the latest 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 Robbins 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. Other topics in the book include 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.
