It’s January—the perfect time to hit refresh on your mindset, attitude, and energy. My motto? I don’t let anyone control my mindset, my attitude, or my vibe—and you shouldn’t either. But let’s be real: life doesn’t come with a one-size-fits-all approach. Sometimes you let people be (because their drama isn’t worth your time), and sometimes you stand your ground (because some behaviors just don’t fly).
That’s why these two books caught my eye: Mel Robbins’ The Let Them Theory and Sarah Kellerman’s *The Don’t Fking Let Them Theory***. Both promise life-changing guidance—but in very different flavors. One is calm, wise, and almost zen-like. The other is bold, fiery, and ready to call out nonsense where it lives.
Wondering which one fits your style—or if you should read both? Here’s a quick, no-nonsense breakdown:
Quick Comparison: The Let Them Theory vs. The Don’t F**king Let Them Theory
My Take
Here’s how I play it in real life: I either let them—because their behavior isn’t worth my energy—or I don’t let them—because boundaries aren’t optional, and my peace isn’t negotiable. Robbins gives you the framework to stop stressing over people who aren’t in your control, while Kellerman hands you the megaphone to say: not today, buddy.
The truth? You don’t have to pick just one. Life is messy, and sometimes you need a little calm, and other times a little fire. Take what works, leave what doesn’t, and remember: your energy is yours. Guard it, protect it, and never let anyone steal it.
