Book excerpt: "The Let Them Theory" by Mel Robbins

TL;DR

Personal growth is achieved by stopping energy expenditure on uncontrollable factors, such as changing other people.
Humans have a hardwired need for control, leading to attempts to manage everything and everyone around them.
The only person an individual can control is themselves: their thoughts, actions, and feelings.
Trying to control others creates stress, tension, and friction in life and relationships.
The 'Let Them Theory' involves two steps: 'Let Them' (accepting what you cannot control) and 'Let Me' (focusing on what you can control, yourself).
Applying the theory can positively impact relationships, career, emotions, stress, and self-relationship.
Mastering the theory leads to stopping exhaustion from trying to control the uncontrollable and redesigning one's entire life.
