The Let Them Theory
Read the insightsMel Robbins is a former criminal defense attorney and CNN commentator who became one of the world’s most popular motivational speakers; she is the author of The 5 Second Rule and The High 5 Habit and hosts The Mel Robbins Podcast. In The Let Them Theory, Mel Robbins and her daughter and co-author, Sawyer Robbins, turn a two-word phrase that went viral online into a full framework for living. Robbins argues that much of our unhappiness comes from trying to manage other people’s choices, moods, and opinions. By saying “let them” to what we cannot control, and “let me” to what we can, she believes we can handle stress, fear of judgment, comparison, friendship, family, and love with far more freedom.

The 5 Second Rule
Read the insightsThere was a time when author and speaker Mel Robbins’ life was in the toilet: her marriage was falling apart, her finances were grim, and she felt like she was wasting away. It all changed for her in five seconds, when, depressed and unable to get out of bed, Robbins counted backward from five and forced herself to get up and start the day. It was a watershed moment for her, and she discovered a principle that would revolutionize her perspective on life. She regained power to make decisions and reclaimed control of her life one small decision at a time. She exhorts others to do the same in her ultra bestseller The 5 Second Rule.
