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

hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

3.5

other than some toxic productivity talk and mild fat shaming, I loved the core message of this book. It just got a little too preachy & self-helpy by the end (and probably could’ve been covered in a long form blog post). BUT I admit that let them/let me is really changing my mindset around relationships, so something must have stuck!

The Buy Nothing, Get Everything Plan: Discover the Joy of Spending Less, Sharing More, and Living Generously by Liesl Clark, Rebecca Rockefeller
Did not finish book. Stopped at 38%.

It’s nothing new for me unfortunately - very simple (and kind of privileged) zero waste tips almost that won’t work for everyone.
