Mini Review: Let Them Theory
I really, really liked it! I was a little bit cynical about this one, because the title was a little too sensational ("millions can't stop talking about" yeah, yeah, sure...) for me, but the contents of this book hit me just right. The book is about a modern take on one of the tenants of (pop) stoicism, where suffering very often is very much a question of framing. Making clear what you can control and what you can't, really helps to let go (or "letting them") so you can focus on yourself (or "let me").
The best part IMHO is in the later half, which talks about how you deal with (and help) others, which is something that is not talked about as much in these kinds of books otherwise. The advice to "let them" learn and grow by not enabling them, rescuing them, really hit home for me.
I listened to the book and on top of the content, I wanted to highlight how pleasant and funny and emotionally honest this was done by the author herself.
This book is, of course, what it is: A self-help book by a person that knows how to market her stuff. But at the same time that took surprisingly little away from the substance in this case.
Review on Storygraph.
P.S.: A little bit more about it's contents over at Cool Tools/Book Freak.
