The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins, Book Summary, Podcast, English

Free (0.00$) Audiobook on Audible (with membership trial) : https://amzn.to/4nsVaJG

or Buy the book on Amazon : https://amzn.to/4nsVaJG

What if the key to happiness, success, and love was as simple as two words?

If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with where you are, the problem isn't you. The problem is the power you give to other people. Two simple words—Let Them—will set you free. Free from the opinions, drama, and judgments of others. Free from the exhausting cycle of trying to manage everything and everyone around you. The Let Them Theory puts the power to create a life you love back in your hands—and this book will show you exactly how to do it.

In her latest groundbreaking book, The Let Them Theory, Mel Robbins—New York Times bestselling author and one of the world's most respected experts on motivation, confidence, and mindset—teaches you how to stop wasting energy on what you can't control and start focusing on what truly matters: YOU. Your happiness. Your goals. Your life.

Using the same no-nonsense, science-backed approach that's made The Mel Robbins Podcast a global sensation, Robbins explains why The Let Them Theory is already loved by millions and how you can apply it in eight key areas of your life to make the biggest impact. As you listen, you'll realize how much energy and time you've been wasting trying to control the wrong things—at work, in relationships, and in pursuing your goals—and how this is keeping you from the happiness and success you deserve.

Bibliophage

Bibliophage: Noun, One who devours books, a book worm, an avid reader. Hosted by NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author Gwenna Laithland and her long-suffering assistant, Jennifer Nance, Bibliophage is on a mission to grow more bookworms, one family at a time. Each week we'll select a theme and explore books that fit that theme across genres, styles, cultures, and, especially ages. From board books to heavy-hitting dramatic audios, we believe that families that read together, lead together. (That was awful, cliche, and Gwenna apologizes for writing that.) ((Jennifer made me type this bit. I thought it was clever.)) From time to time authors, booksellers, librarians, and other massive bookworms will join us to discuss their favorite books to devour. From weddings to witches, mysteries to mastodons, there's no such thing as a person who can't love reading - just people who haven't sampled the right books yet. We've got a little something to add your menu on Bibliophage. Read More

In A Certain Land

You know The Brothers Grimm, but do you know the weird and whimsical fairy tales of Russia? Nicholas Kotar brings you Russia’s most beloved fairy tales as you would have heard them from a grandparent sitting near the hearth on a cozy winter evening, the wind howling outside and the courage of these heroic stories lighting a flame in your heart. Enter the world of Baba Yaga, the mysterious hag who can be both friend and foe, and follow Ivan the Idiot as he faces off against a cunning dragon with six heads. These are not stuffy, academic translations, but vividly enacted retellings from Nicholas Kotar’s 3-volume fairy tale collection, accompanied by the original music of composer Natalie Wilson.


Don’t be fooled: these are not just tales for children. As Russian philosopher Ivan Ilyin reminds us, the spiritual meaning of the fairy tale is “like refined and sweet-smelling honey. If you drip it on your tongue, you’ll taste all the ineffable essence of Russia’s nature–the smell of the earth, the heat of the sun, the fragrance of flowers, and something else that is subtle and rich, something eternally youthful and yet eternally ancient… Only he who worships at the altar of facts and has lost the ability to contemplate a state of being ignores fairy tales. Only the one who wants to see with his physical eyes alone, plucking out his spiritual eyes in the process, considers the fairy tale to be dead.”

Truth Is In The Art: Spoken Word Poetry

Join me as I dive into the world of poetry to uncover the hidden truths that lie beneath the surface!>

Explore the uncharted territories of the human experience as we delve into the realm of poetry, where words weave a tapestry of emotions, revealing the hidden truths that lie beneath the surface. Join us on this journey of self-discovery, as we unravel the mysteries of the human heart, and uncover the secrets that poetry has been whispering to us all along. Get ready to have your mind expanded, your heart touched, and your soul awakened.


Poetry has been a powerful medium for uncovering hidden truths throughout history. From ancient Greek tragedies to modern-day spoken word, poets have used their words to shine a light on the aspects of human experience that we often try to keep hidden.


So many people think that poetry is just a form of entertainment or a way to express oneself creatively. But the truth is, poetry has always been so much more than that. Truth Is In The Art is a powerful tool for social commentary, for personal reflection, and for uncovering the hidden truths that lie beneath the surface of our everyday lives. Its Spoken Word has the power to challenge our assumptions, to question our beliefs, and to open our eyes to new perspectives and ways of thinking.


Most people think poetry is just about the words on the page. But Truth Is In The Art is so much more than just words - it's about the emotions, the experiences, and the insights that its words convey. It has the power to evoke emotions, to create connections, and to inspire change. And yet, despite its power, poetry is often overlooked or underappreciated. We think of it as something that we studied in school, something that we might read on special occasions, but not something that has the power to change our lives.


But poetry has always been a powerful tool for social commentary. Think about it - some of the most powerful and enduring poems of all time are those that challenge the status quo, that speak truth to power, and that give voice to those who have been marginalized or oppressed. From Langston Hughes to Maya Angelou, from Pablo Neruda to Warsan Shire, poets have used their words to challenge injustice, to advocate for change, and to inspire action.


Take, for example, the poem "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus. On the surface, it's a sonnet about the Statue of Liberty, but beneath the surface, it's a powerful commentary on the American Dream and the idea of freedom. It's a poem that speaks directly to the immigrant experience, to the hopes and dreams of those who come to America seeking a better life. And yet, it's also a poem that challenges us to think about what it means to be American, to think about the values and ideals that we hold dear.


Or take the poem "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou. On the surface, it's a poem about resilience, about overcoming adversity, but beneath the surface, it's a powerful commentary on the African-American experience, on the legacy of slavery and racism, and on the power of the human spirit to overcome even the most daunting challenges.
