1. What prompted me to choose this book?
I chose Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins because I’ve been on a journey of personal growth and self-reflection. I’ve followed Mel Robbins for her powerful, practical advice on confidence, anxiety, and mindset. When I heard she had a new concept that could help me let go of emotional burdens and focus on what truly matters, I knew I needed to read it. The phrase “Let Them” felt like a simple but powerful mantra, and I was curious how it could help me deal with rejection, disappointment, and the need for control.
2. What did I learn from reading this book?
The core of Let Them Theory is this: when people show you who they are or act in ways that upset, confuse, or disappoint you—let them. Don’t waste your energy trying to control others or win approval. Instead, shift your focus inward and ask yourself: What do I need? What do I want? Where am I going?
Key takeaways include:
Freedom through detachment: Letting others do what they’re going to do gives you emotional freedom. You stop reacting and start choosing your response.
You don’t need permission: You can stop chasing validation and start acting on your own values and goals.
Rejection is redirection: If someone walks away, let them. It clears space for people who truly align with your life.
Boundaries are an act of self-respect: You don’t need to explain yourself to everyone. Saying “no” or stepping away is okay.
The book is direct, relatable, and full of real-life examples that made it easy to see how this theory applies to relationships, work, and personal goals.
3. How will reading this book contribute to my success upon release?
Let Them Theory gives me a mental framework I can use every day, especially in a world where I won’t be able to control how others see me or treat me. People might judge me by my past, doubt my potential, or even reject my efforts. And when that happens? I’ll let them.
This mindset will help me stay grounded in my purpose, protect my peace, and avoid emotional setbacks caused by other people’s actions. I’ll be able to move forward with confidence, focus on what I can control—my choices, my habits, and my growth—and build the life I envision.
