TWO SIMPLE WORDS.

The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins Book Cover

Reviews

“This book is pure freedom—freedom to have better relationships, to believe in yourself and understand other people's perspectives better. You will learn how to create space for two truths to coexist and learn practical, empowering steps to not only “Let Them,” but more importantly, to “Let Me.” I truly can't say enough positive things about this book. I've taken notes, and I have even revisited certain chapters when I catch myself slipping back into old thought patterns. There's a chapter for every stage of life—and even if it doesn't seem applicable, you'll still find something valuable on every page.”

— Katie (Goodreads)

“I never wanted this book to end. From start to finish, it felt like a conversation with a wise friend who always knows just the right thing to say. I have a habit of highlighting the most profound passages in self-help books, and with this one, nearly every page was marked. It’s overflowing with wisdom, so much so that I feel like I need to reread it just to fully absorb everything. This isn’t the kind of book you read once and forget about, it’s one you’ll want to keep coming back to. Every time you pick it up, you’ll take away something new or see things in a different light. I know for sure this is staying on my shelf for good.”

— Nicole (Goodreads)

“This is one of the best books I've ever read. Or the best one. I've smiled, nodded, cried, re-read passages and loved every single page. I'm gonna absolutely re-read it again to fully absorb the simple yet effective principles that Mel (and data) offers. I wish I could put a six star rating just for this one.”

— Marco (Goodreads)

“Wow everyone needs to read!! Amazing book. I have quoted it 100 times in the last five days. I do not read often and had heard such great stuff about this book. I have to say that everything was spot on and somehow- you know these things- but you just need someone [backed by evidence and research] to be the one to tell you ! I especially liked the second half of the book about adult relationships, and friendships, I highly recommend this to all my friends and family, there are tons of examples to make it easy to understand. There's also a chapter all about dating, which again-- I think are things that we all subconsciously know, but it's nice when someone tells you to snap out of it!! 5 stars!”

— Erica (Audible)

“Right book at the right time I'm a firm believer that books find us at the right time and this one sure did! This book speaks directly to some things I’ve been struggling with from people pleasing to comparison to trying to control things that are out of my control to loneliness due to waiting for meaningful friendships to fall into my life. I just read this (and so much more in this book) and it brought so much hope to my heart: “it’s time to stop waiting and start creating Dash building the best friendships of your life and surrounding yourself with a community that uplift and support you. You have so many laughs, memories to make, an incredible adventures in your future. It’s all there waiting for you to reach out and create it.“”

— ketreed (Amazon)

“Incredibly powerful This book has been life-changing for me. It helped me heal from heartbreak. It taught me how to deal with unhealthy relationship relationships in my life and how to love myself through the process. To the author I want to thank you for writing this book. Thank you for sharing your personal experiences. The content was so relatable and it felt like I was being spoken to by a true friend.”

— Bessie (Audible)

“Life Changing! As a chronic people pleaser, pastor‘s wife, business owner, and mom of three, I often feel the pressure of the world coming down on me. But this book has helped me realize I’m the one giving the “world “that power. Yes, pressures are real, but not as powerful as we often think them to be. This book helped me start Saying “let them “to people and start saying “let me “to me, allowing me to take back control of my own life and embrace my goals and dreams head on! I definitely recommend to anyone and everyone to read this book. Mel delivers such great truths with firmness but grace as well! Go by the book!”

— Amazon Customer (Amazon)

“A game changing book! My stress levels decreased almost immediately when I started implementing The Let Them Theory, especially when I implemented the most important aspect of this theory, the second step of Let Me. This theory can be applied to every situation and is truly a game changer. I recommend this book to everyone and I’ve even purchased and sent copies to friends.”

— cmbarton (Amazon)

“Let Me: let me tell you how important this book is. As a chronic-worrier, over thinker and sufferer of being self-conscious 99% of the time, this book immediately became the blueprint in how I will move forward with my life. I am officially in my "Let Me Era" and forever going to LET THEM> If you find yourself stuck, worried, overthinking, jealous, upset with a relationship (be that platonic or romantic) READ. THIS. BOOK.”

— Hillary (Goodreads)

“Worth the listen Loved the wisdom, loved the end of section summaries, loved the expert references, especially loved Mel’s personal example anecdotes. Game changer for accepting what you can’t change and unashamedly changing what you can.”

— Marla (Audible)
