The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About by Mel Robbins

3.75

Mel Robbins gives a simple theory she calls lifechanging: Let Them (do whatever they're doing) and then Let Me (take action on what I can control). This was easy to read and had some really helpful sections; most useful to me was the one about adult friendships - we can only control how we show up, not how others do or how they respond. I wished we got examples that were more inclusive of broader experiences than hers, and it did get a little tiring when she would introduce each other author as the best expert ever who changed her life (now go listen to the podcast episode). I didn't like how Robbins talked about writing the book with her daughter but then the daughter does not get any credit. Overall I can see myself remembering and doing my best to use this theory in applicable situations, but I won't be returning to the book.
