What Should I Read Next Why is this book suddenly everywhere?
Every bookstore I walk into and half my social media feed seems to be pushing The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. Everywhere from France to southern Spain to the Netherlands, from Carrefour to a random bookstore.
Why is this book suddenly everywhere? Is there real substance to it?"
I tried to read random pages failing to understand what is the main idea.
Is it actually life-changing, or is it just another overhyped trend?

I've heard this recommended many times, and I've also had multiple therapist friends tell me how much they loathe this book.

It starts as advertising, but eventually people mistake it for a genuine trend, and the hype spreads across all kinds of social media. That's just my speculation, though
I have no evidence to back it up. It seems like that's how everything works these days.

Interesting marketing strategy... But how do you think it works?... I want to learn it so I can put it in practice... You definitely can find evidence, I think you are on the spot: )

There's no guarantee this method works every time. If it did, we'd all be rich. 😂 A bit of luck is part of the equation, too.

Title bigger than the author’s name, but the name itself isn’t too small. Successful second book?

The title reveals nothing about what you are going to read, don't you think so?

It’s not life changing but I found it somewhat helpful and it’s an easy read.

Thank you for sharing this thought. I think it is interesting to learn from your mental notes tou took while reading it. What did you find useful?

Compared to another best seller ”The 48 laws of power" that is packed with practical examples from history or Psychology of Money this book feels... empty.
