The Let Them Theory

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The daily Philosopher`s Note from Heroic was The book of Mel Robbins: The Let Them Theory, and I highlighted the following:

It captures the essence of both Stoicism and Buddhism in two words.

“The Let Them Theory isn’t just a mindset hack—it’s rooted in ancient philosophies and psychological concepts that have guided people for centuries. If you’re familiar with
Stoicism, Buddhism, Detachment Theory, or Radical Acceptance, you’ll recognize that Let Them and Let Me apply these teachings and turn them into a practical, everyday tool for improving your relationships and reclaiming your personal power.”

“When you say Let Them, you make a conscious decision not to allow other people’s behaviour to bother you. When you say Let Me, you take responsibility for what you do next”.

“It’s the opposite of judgment. Let Me is all about self-awareness, compassion, empowerment, and personal responsibility.”

“The more you allow people to live their lives, the better your life will get. The more control
you give up, the more you gain.”
