Mel Robbins: How To Change Your Life Wit...

Lewis Howes
About this episode

On this episode of the School of Greatness, I sit down with the incredible Mel Robbins to discuss her groundbreaking new book, "The Let Them Theory." Mel reveals how she discovered this life-changing concept through a simple moment at her son's prom, and how it has transformed not only her relationships but her entire approach to life. She shares deep insights about the four key ways we unknowingly give our power to others and explains how two simple words - "let them" - can help us reclaim our time, energy, and happiness. Through personal stories and practical examples, Mel illuminates why trying to control others creates resistance and how we can influence positive change by modeling behavior instead of forcing it.

Mel’s new book The Let Them Theory

In this episode you will learn:

  • Why the biggest obstacle in everyone's life is the power we unknowingly give to other people
  • The four main ways we turn other people into problems and how to stop doing it
  • How to use the "Let Them Theory" to create healthier boundaries and relationships
  • Why trying to control or change others creates resistance and what to do instead
  • The ABC method for influencing positive change in others without pressure
  • How to balance letting people be themselves while maintaining healthy boundaries
