APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Profoundly simple yet very effective, Mel Robbins’ self-help guide champions the freedom of letting other adults live their lives their way. Born from a simple anecdote (her daughter telling her to stop micromanaging her son’s prom experience), the book is about accepting that you can’t control the thoughts and actions of other humans. Robbins goes further, though, concentrating just as much on how doing this for others is actually freeing for you. Through personal stories and the input of professionals, she drives home the point that life works much better when the focus stays on your own behaviours. That doesn’t mean ignoring things—instead, it means adjusting your own actions to make the best of any situation, no matter how dire. Robbins puts the power to moderate your reactions back where it belongs—within you.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Readers should put the energy they waste worrying about others' opinions toward leading more empowered lives, according to this upbeat guide. Motivational speaker Robbins (The High 5 Habit) outlines how accepting others for who they are and focusing instead on the actions one can take to improve things—what she calls the "let them/let me" method—helps reveal what's within one's control and how to manage one's actions accordingly. Those dealing with difficult family members, for example, should avoid trying to change their opinions ("Let your dad be your dad") and focus on building the "kind of relationship I want" with them, "based on the kind of person I want to be." Similarly, those struggling with the tendency to compare themselves to others should recognize that harping on someone else's advantages drains motivation for changing one's own life. In down-to-earth prose, the author lucidly distinguishes her theory from simply "letting go," noting that "accepting the reality of your situation doesn't mean you're surrendering to it" but rather releasing "control you never had." Robbins's fans will want to snap this up.

Helpful
Accepting that this book seems to be written from a place of privilege, this is still a solid self help book that, with practice, could serve to reframe your mind.
Many assumptions and redundancies
The author may be a powerful speaker, but the book is based on many assumptions, particularly on the examples provided and they are often more generic than helpful. These examples go on and on, and the book has become lengthier than it needs to be. For example, the man who broke his engagement might not have brought forth his parents’ sense of loss. There are many different angles to this. His parents could be relieved for all we know.
I don’t think making assumptions creates persuasive reasoning.
