Cover of Let Them Theory

I bought it with extra credits after a subscription and I selected it because it was a best seller: their marketing was good.

I was shocked about the basics of the proposal. The author, a motivational speaker, explains the story of his youngest son preparing for the prom ball. Her daughters, already in the Uni, had prepared for the prom for months in advance, dress, dinner, and everything, and his son decided the week before, and the very day of the event it was raining. The author wanted to fix the situation and one daughter was telling her “let them, let them”.

She realised that she had to release control, posted something in social media, and it went viral. Some people started messaging her and even posting tattoos with “Let Them”. Then she decided to publish a book.

The idea of the control, “let them” and “let me” is superficial and basic, but it seems it has worked for many people. She uses the idea for neighbours, politics, career, family, and everything.

I liked listening to the author, sometimes emotional, and sharing personal stories.
