For over a year now, the world has been grappling with a pandemic that has affected everyone emotionally, socially, economically, and mentally. How do we cultivate the resilience we need to build back better? It is by learning to fill ourselves with a positive mental attitude and building confidence in our capacity to do what may seem daunting or impossible.

The High 5 Habit is a simple strategy that teaches you to empower, support, and cheer for yourself.

You become undefeatable by learning how to lift yourself up when life knocks you down.

You can take control of your life and create what you want with it. The High 5 Habit is for real people trying to make real changes in their lives. You can learn to believe in yourself again. Note that word: “again.” You were not born doubting yourself, second-guessing yourself, or feeling beaten down. Celebration, love, confidence, and optimism are wired in your DNA. You have not lost that; you have just been blocked from it. And you can tap back into it with the right amount of encouragement and support. Are you ready to high five yourself?

You’ll find stories of people making the same changes you are trying to make. We are more alike than we are different, and learning about those who face similar challenges empowers us to do the same.

Everybody struggles with feeling energized, focused, and confident; we’re struggling with all the uncertainty. If there was ever a time to learn how to take control, put ourselves first, and cheer ourselves forward, it’s right now. We all need to learn how to make a major pivot, to feel more encouraged instead of waiting for the world to go back to normal. We can’t wait for the world to decide what will happen; we must determine what happens in our own lives.

You will learn to look in the mirror and see someone you love, to believe in yourself, and to have a positive outlook on life. The tools in this summary will help you transform your relationship with yourself to relate well with others.

second key point

Your relationship with YOU is the foundation for every other relationship you have in your life

The way you see yourself will determine how the rest of the world sees you. Therefore, you must be your own cheerleader. Every day, in the morning, stand in front of a mirror and appreciate your being. When you celebrate yourself, you start a chain reaction that builds the momentum you need to achieve the results you seek in your marriage, job, parenting, friendship, and even health.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

The selections are on point and the summaries are excellent! I listen while I walk my pup 🐶 and have in turn, ordered a few selections! REALLY loving the app, it’s layout, daily selections and features!

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

Jillian Emmert

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
