The Let Them Theory Review

 I used to feel this urge to step in when I saw someone making a mistake or when a tricky situation was brewing. But honestly, most people didn’t really listen to me. About a decade ago, I decided to change my approach and just “let them” handle their own issues, and you know what? It felt liberating! Occasionally, I’d feel a twinge of guilt for not trying to control things, but that’s a thing of the past. After diving into this book, I feel so validated. Now, I share my advice once, and it’s up to the person to take it or leave it. After that, I shift my focus back to my own life.

Listening to the book, I realized that a lot of guys embrace this idea of “letting them.” Sure, some men try to exert control in domestic violence situations, but for the most part, they seem to concentrate on their own lives. (Haha!) They might offer advice if asked or lend a hand when they can, but if someone isn’t receptive, they tend to move on without dwelling on that person’s choices. I think that’s a valuable lesson for women, too. The chapter on not letting others’ opinions weigh me down was something I really needed. I plan to listen to it repeatedly because it's been my biggest obstacle. I get it on a theoretical level—caring less about what others think—but Robbins expresses it in such a relatable way that it really clicks. People might hear similar advice from others all the time, but she has a unique approach that truly resonates. Some folks have mentioned that the book feels like an extension of Robbins’ podcast, but honestly, I think that's an unfair critique. I hadn’t heard of her or her podcast before, so this is all fresh and exciting to me! But I’ll “let you” have your opinions, and then I’ll “let me” share this book with all my friends because I think they’d love it too!
