Summary
Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on September 28, 2021. The truth about life, success, and failure is everything depends on you. The problem is that you, and nearly every other person around, defaults to being at the mercy of the people, the environments, and unfortunate situations that mark the course of life.
Mel Robbins is the personification of motivation on steroids packed with a high potency of raw truth. You could say she’s joining Tom to discuss her newest book, The High 5 Habit, but it’s more fitting to say she’s back to give you the kick in the ass you’ve been waiting for. Mel is not only talking about why high fiving yourself is powerful, she’s reminding you that you have a responsibility to heal yourself and do the work. While you’re chasing your dreams, understand that what the world sees as failure may just be a massive success in the timeline of your life, as has been the case for Mel Robbins.

| 0:00.0 | Jealousy is one of the most powerful directional signals on the planet. |
| 0:08.0 | Because you're only jealous of people that are doing things or have things that you actually want. |
| 0:15.0 | It's impossible to be fake jealous. |
| 0:18.0 | Whatever you're jealous of is hitting something deeply personal. Fucking pay attention to it. |
| 0:24.4 | Instead of stewing in it, go, oh, flip it. How could I take those things that I'm really now |
| 0:31.1 | really inspired by and take action and go get them in my life? Because the thing about jealousy is, it's just your |
| 0:40.5 | inspiration that's blocked. Mel Robbins, welcome back to the show. Thank you, Tom. It's been four years. |
| 0:48.8 | That's hard to believe. I'm super excited to have you back in this chair to talk about your new book. |
| 0:53.5 | Thank you. The high five habit. |
| 0:54.8 | The high five habit. You have a really freaky way of taking a concept that is deceptively simple. |
| 0:59.8 | And stupid? I won't say stupid, but it could be stupid in lesser hands. How about that? |
| 1:05.5 | Okay. And I really enjoyed the book. The part of the book that jumped out and really grabbed me, |
| 1:11.8 | there were two. One almost made me cry, which we'll talk about later, because I am very |
| 1:15.9 | surprised that I liked that particular part. I thought, I'm going to hate the punchline of |
| 1:19.4 | this story. But is the Dallas Uber driver. Oh. So as somebody who has gotten into |
| 1:25.4 | countless Ubers and some small percentage of them know who I am, |
| 1:29.4 | and then, of course, they start asking questions. |
| 1:32.6 | Talk to me about chasing your dreams and this quote that you have that an aha moment does not necessarily lead to an aha life. |
| 1:41.3 | Hmm. |
| 1:43.9 | Yeah, the Uber driver in Dallas that's in this book. |
| 1:48.1 | I get choked up when I think about him. |
| 1:50.9 | An aha moment. |
