Aaron Mackell’s Reviews > The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About > Status Update

Some gems I took away from past couple chapters regarding how to properly support someone through their healing stages / journey without enabling their destructive behaviors or bailing them out. Also learned about the proper signals to pay attention to when seeking to date someone. Pretty interesting perspective overall.

Many great life tips provided for using the let them theory as it applies to emotionally immature adults, comparison amongst peers, and navigating friendships.

Wow, these past few chapters have been really refreshing to learn about how this theory can be applied to close friends, family, and loved ones. The concept of the frame of reference theory when using Let Me also helped me understand the logic behind essentially putting yourself in someone else’s shoes to potentially understand with their opinion or perspective of you.

Chapter 4, I enjoyed her explanation about the let me theory and being in control of your next move, and how in reality that move can look significantly different depending on the situation. I appreciate the transparency here from the author stating that the response to every situation will look different because a lot of self help books can be structured to seemingly always make the best/perfect choice

Chapter 3 biggest takeaways:

- stress is the leading cause and factor for many of the areas and situations in life that aren’t progressing in a positive way.

- when being stressed the brain goes into a stress response located in the amygdala (fight, flight mode)and is control, whereas when life is normal, the prefrontal cortex drives logic/actions.

- the goal is to operate mainly in the prefrontal cortex

Man, chapter 1 took me by surprise for how she came up with the let them theory. All the examples provided about when and how to apply the concept seem easy in theory but harder in practice, especially when dealing with close family, friends, or loved ones. Curious to see how this concept is put into practice.

Intro was interesting, I’m always impressed to read about folks who are faced with tough situations and the methods/tactics that they implement to improve their circumstances and push beyond the limits that they originally imagined. The writers reference to the 5 second theory is something I think that could be useful in many areas of life as a way to fall in love with the concept of taking action on all things.
