Mel Robbins’ ‘Let Them Theory’ Gains Momentum as Self-Help Phenomenon

Mel Robbins, the bestselling author and motivational speaker, is making waves with her latest book, *The Let Them Theory*, which has already topped the New York Times bestseller list in the advice category. The book, released on Christmas Eve, has garnered over 100,000 preorders, a record for her publisher, Hay House. Robbins’ philosophy, centered on relinquishing control over things beyond one’s influence, has resonated with millions, including Oprah Winfrey, who recently featured Robbins on her podcast.

Robbins, a former criminal defense lawyer turned self-help guru, explains that her theory is rooted in the idea of reducing stress by letting go of the need to micromanage others’ thoughts and behaviors.
