What a life changer aka what an audiobook !
Honestly, this book is a best seller for a reason. So glad I stumbled with this book. This book is a compilation of coaching sessions of 6 different people and Mel Robbins coaching them with ways of conquering their fears and uncertainty. And at the same time you get coached as well. Would love to listen to it all over once again. Highly recommend for those who are searching for a self development book.

This made me rethink and completely turn around the relationship I was in which was an abusive one. It really helped me crack the pattern and see the bigger picture. I am out of that relationship and relieved and very thankful of this book.

Stop living in fear
When I turned this book on I wasn't sure what to expect. Much of self help seems to be a repeat of the same stuff (get up early, stop being a victim, meditate, eat healthy, think positive, ect) so I wasn't sure what spin Mel would bring to this topic. I am a big fan of Mel's and did listen to Kick Ass, her last book. I loved Kick Ass so I did have high hopes for this. When I saw Mel mention her new book in her newsletter I downloaded it right away. Now that I've finished–WOW is all I can say. First, it's way way longer than Kick Ass and has tons of information in it. So much. It's all about how fear holds us back and how we can figure out the way that fear affects us as a person and change that. Mel says that it doesn't matter what other habits you have if you're held hostage by fear, and that really rang true with me. Like Kick Ass this book has coaching sessions, but in this case the coaching sessions were more of teaching moment. Then, after each session, Mel would talk for over an hour about each, sharing advice and takeaways. My favorite part of the book was when Mel shared her personal stories. I didn't realize how funny she is! I also liked how there were a variety of people coached. While I definitely resonated with some more than others, I did get something from each one. I also thought it was good how Mel really went through each action item in a ton of detail and shared the research and science behind what she was teaching. As I was listening the only downside was that there is SO much information covered that it was hard to remember it all (I listened to most of it in the car). Which is why I am so happy to see that Audible included a workbook in my library. I took a look at the workbook and saw that the lessons are all summarized which is so helpful! I am going to start filling out the workbook this weekend. Overall, Mel, you have done it again. This book was such an amazing listen and I couldn't believe how many times I nodded my head thinking "SHE GETS ME."

Wanted to love it
I love Mel Robbins and think she is very gifted motivational speaker. I purchased the book to gain some insight on how to overcome fear. However, the format of the book (listening to various therapy sessions) did not leave me feeling uplifted, but rather depressed. Some of the stories involve very complex personality issues, stories of abuse, etc. I have no doubt Mel was enormously helpful for these individuals, but I found this audiobook very difficult to listen to. I ended up scanning through and attempting to listen to each story and ultimately returned it.

Wow!! Not sure what to say other than this audio book is pure gold!! If you are on the fence in regards to the purchase, you will not regret it. I love how she uses real life stories and situations to teach. The best part is that you are a VIP inside these coaching sessions. So much value inside! Thank you, Mel :)

The fastest 10hr audiobook I've ever heard!
Honestly, this felt to me like a one hour book.
It is LIFE CHANGING, thought-modifying, relationship-building and boundary-setting all at once.
Perhaps because this showed up in Divine Timing for me.
Quite frankly, I was put off by the title as my life is not "out of control", but this has been a great kick in the posterior and a magnifying mirror enlarging my unpolished corners. Time for a shoe shine.
ps- I have never heard of the author prior to getting the book and her accent or voice (not sure which) aggravates me (I was raised abroad).
Yet, I got over myself as the author is as effective as an awful-tasting medicine you know you need.
If you can stomach the truth, the finish will be sweet.
Buckle Up!
Your life is about to change...

Silence Your Fears
From a young age, many of us were taught to look on the bright side whenever life beat us down. But according to Mel Robbins, staying positive might actually be causing the beatings life keeps handing out. Mel engages six fear-avoidant friends in deep, honest, and difficult discussions—six living, breathing case studies on silencing lifelong fears. In doing so, every listener becomes a participant in a greater, more meaningful conversation—one that will stick with you long after you're done listening.

You are the CEO of your life
This book brought awareness of my negative beliefs, thoughts and body language. I discovered my fear and it really changed how I view the world now. I have been a chameleon, people pleaser most of my life. I couldn't believe that I did it without thinking. No wonder why I have so much anger, resentment built inside of me. I now know why I get so defensive and judgmental. It was awesome to hear the coach sessions because I am not alone and it feels good knowing other people struggle with the same issues. The techniques Mel talks about in each session is game changing. I apply them one day at a time, brick by brick and in small doses so I don;t get overwhelmed and end up with the reverse effect. I unfollowed so many people on all my social media channels to get that poison out of my life and it really works. The only things I see now are things that make me happy, empower me and help me get to my dream and goals. Changing your mindset and gaining control of your mind is truly the most powerful thing a person can do for themselves. It is truly game changing and empowering. I am so proud of myself for taking these steps and investing in me. Mel, you helped me change my mind and I love you for it. I can't wait for the next book to come out....your talk show... and new videos... You saved me from living a dark depressing life... I am now the CEO of my life, thoughts, dreams and actions...

I feel like now I know what to do
Wow. I'm just finishing up this audiobook and I feel like I'm going to need a few days to digest this. I actually had to keep pausing the book to take notes on my phone because there are so many nuggets in here I didn't want to forget. Though I resonated with everyone in this book to some extent, I think I am most like Dan. Sooo much I want to do in this lifetime and there are days it feels like I'm running out of time. But now I understand that by living in that kind of mindset, time is actually moving faster. OMG, so true! So this past weekend I scheduled a few minutes to sloooow way down, and I planned a few bricks for the week. :) Thanks, Mel! Loving your work.

Well Balanced Perspective with a Clear Message
This Audible Original series with Mel is really quite powerful. It doesn't build on her earlier release, but instead digs into the real roadblocks to us being able to live a full and fulfilled life. It doesn't seem to matter how big or small our fears, whatever we conjure up - they still manage to slow our progress. She offers some diversity of perspective given the different interviewees and their background. Her voice allows you to accelerate the listening speed and still easily digest the concepts. Well done.

Very VERY Americanised! (Us British will find it hard to listen)
I want to say I did enjoy this audible and you can always take away some key points!
However being British I really struggled with the Americanised 1 to 1 interviews where it did seem very very set up and false! Never felt genuine, Mels responses were far to quick before the individuals finished there sentences.
I prefer raw, factual, straight forward believable stories where they don’t feel set up, over the top and Americanised!
Yes you can take some good points but overall I would not have chosen this audio and I feel a lot of other British listeners will understand when I say there are some major Cringe moments at the American OTT mentoring going on.
I do not wish to run this audio down but I wanted to be honest.
I liked 5 second rule but this isn’t for me. (So much so I actually pressed the skip button through the interviews because I just couldn’t bring myself to listen to the way they were taking)

I can save you the bother of listening ...
...in one sentence...find out what provokes fear in you and 'address' it....not especially helpful. Seems like a nice enough woman but not life changing stuff. I'm not a big fan of case histories there's no 6 sizes fit all.

Frighteningly brilliant
This book should come with a warning!! “Do not read unless you want a profound wake up call”!!!
Seriously though, what an amazing experience to share other people’s stories and see yourself in (almost) every example. “I do that” “That’s me”
I guess now I have to face the fear, change the patterns and become the person I want, and deserve, to be. ❤️

Not for me this time
I normally LOVE Mel Robbins books, but this one just felt contrived. It is 'real' sessions with various people who are held back in achieving their goals due to the fears they hold. On some sessions Mel appeared to coax them into saying how they felt, by a strange coincidence, she too had the same fears/traits as each of the 3 sessions I listened to (I think there are 6)
I will be returning this book, I persevered with a few sessions in the hope it would improve, but to be honest the people just seemed to whinge, with no real issues that needed solving, it was like they just wanted to meet Mel Robbins, so said all the things they thought she wanted to hear, it even made me doubt they were real - it was nothing like Kick Ass which I absolutely loved.
I hope Mel does not churn out any other mundane books like this, stick to the coaching that you are absolutely brilliant at. Make people think differently to bring about change in their life....but not this nonsense with people crying because they had strict parents and they only got 93 in a test - Jeez!!!!!

The most powerful and valuable listen, ever
I’ve learned so much from this even though I’ve done a ton of work to figure me out in the last 10yrs.
It gets right to the point in a caring, no nonsense way which is deeply moving, helpful and refreshing.
Each coaching session Mel shares here had take aways for me. Now for the action.
I plan on returning here in 6 months with a new review and an update of how much I’ve improved my life after Mel so wonderfully spot lighted a multitude of issues and solutions to take action on.
Game changer.

absolutely loving this book
I've only listened to a quarter of this book so far, but I love, love, love what I'm hearing. I'm a huge fan of Mel Robbins and have other material/programmes that she has done, but this book so far is the best yet ! I love her down to earth manner and she really gets into your head. Her advice works, if you are willing to listen, learn and do the work one small brick at a time, you will breakthrough ! highly recommended. There's also a workbook to go with it which is once again excellent content, great practical guidelines.

Sorry, not for me
I don’t like to criticise books as books are knowledge and written by someone more knowledgeable than me about the given subject. I bought this as it appeared in recommendations given my listening history. Downloaded it having just read You’re A Badass by Jen Sincero so I was hoping of much the same. Different style and more of case studies than the actual author talking. The opening music also felt a little haunting. I’m sure there is a lot to learn from this book and I do appreciate it has helped so many others, but style not for me.

Audio-book?
Not an audoobook but a replay of someone's workday. No questions about the authors knowledge, enthusiasm or personality. Though I felt a little robbed with book when it just turned into recordings of conversations with clients. Not what I would look for in a book, perhaps a podcast.

It is very rare that I would believe a review that says a book will change your life so when I say that this audiobook will change your life it is not said lightly! For anyone willing to look inwards and take control of their life, this is a game changer. It is like a coaching session for yourself with Mel and is so relevant to all of us! Thank you Mel for this wonderful piece of work!
