- Reviewed in Australia on 14 April 2025Verified PurchaseI was so taken with the book that I bought this almost immediately after so I could listen on those occasions where a book wasn’t practical. I listen when I’m working around the home or when crafting, or walking.
I love this book so much I’ve been recommending it to everyone!
This book has something for everyone.
- Reviewed in Australia on 26 April 2025Verified PurchaseAn amazing book!
- Reviewed in Australia on 23 March 2025Verified PurchaseI found this book informative and thought provoking up until I got to Chapter 14. From then on it deals with motivating other people to change and basically how to talk them into doing what you think is best for them. Hardly the point of Let Them I would have thought? I doubt I’ll bother to finish this book.
- Reviewed in Australia on 6 April 2025Verified PurchaseReally good book to read. Got a lot out of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frustrated by others' actions? The key to peace and success lies in three words—LET THEM
Verified PurchaseFrustrated by others' actions? The key to peace and success lies in three words—LET THEM.
The Let Them theory helps you release control, attract the right people, and grow effortlessly. It’s about allowing others to make their choices without resistance from you. As Mel Robbins puts it in her book, The Let Them Theory, “When you allow people the freedom to do what they want, you gain the freedom to focus on what truly matters to you.”
Why "Let Them" Works
✔ Let them underestimate you – Your results will prove them wrong. ✔ Let them leave – The right people will stay. ✔ Let them judge – Their perception isn’t your reality. ✔ Let them ignore you – Focus on those who see your value. ✔ Let them talk – Your growth isn’t tied to their opinions. ✔ Let them doubt you – Success is the best response.
Business & Leadership Perspective
Entrepreneurs: Not everyone will see your vision. Let them go.
Leaders: Resistance happens. Let them. Lead with confidence.
Mel Robbins reinforces this mindset by stating, “Letting them be means letting yourself be free.” When you stop trying to change or convince others, you create space for peace, clarity, and new opportunities.
Letting go to isn’t indifference—it’s freedom. When you stop chasing, you start attracting.
