This is the book I deeply wanted to read.
Because if you’re, like me, someone who constantly pleases, explains, tries to keep the peace and maintain everyone else’s mood — until there’s nothing left inside you — then it’s time for a change.
There are books that teach you to stop.
To stop chasing, pulling, begging, feeling guilty.
Let Them by Mel Robbins is exactly that kind of book. It doesn’t speak in grand, lofty sentences — but in simple, powerful ones:
Let them.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them not like you.
It’s not a call for indifference. It’s not defiance. It’s a path to peace.
Because how many times have you held on to something that was already slipping away?
How many times have you tried to explain your worth?
The author gently reminds you: you don’t have to. And you shouldn’t.
But what makes this book even more powerful is the moment when everything shifts. When you realize that Let Them goes hand in hand with Let Me.
Let Them teaches you that other people’s decisions, emotions, and behavior are not your responsibility.
It gives you the chance to rise above what you cannot control.
Let them — choose for themselves, because you can’t change someone else’s choices.
Let Me gives you back your power.
To decide how you will respond.
Whether you’ll stay, leave, understand, or set a boundary.
Let yourself — grow, say no calmly, change, and accept that you don’t have to understand everything right away.
Because you are in control of your own emotions, thoughts, and actions.
Let me love myself more.
Let me leave when it hurts.
Let me choose peace over drama.
And then, the book is no longer about them.
It becomes about you. About the things you once tried to hold on to, but now release — because you know that what’s meant for you will never ask you to lose yourself to have it.
If you need a book that will give you freedom and open your perspective — read this one.
You’ll close it with quieter thoughts, a softer chest, and one small, yet enormous feeling:
It’s going to be okay. Because now I let go. Of myself. And of them.

Zašto je „Let Them“ Mel Robbins knjiga koju morate pročitati: moja recenzija
Ovo je knjiga koju sam silno želela da pročitam.
Jer ako ste, kao i ja, neko ko stalno ugađa, objašnjava, pokušava da održi mir i tuđe raspoloženje — dok u vama polako ne ostane ništa — onda je vreme za promene.
Postoje knjige koje te nauče da prestaneš. Da ne juriš, ne vučeš, ne moliš, da se ne osećaš loše.
“Let Them” od Mel Robbins je baš takva vrsta knjige. Ne izgovara velike rečenice — već jednostavne, ali moćne:
Pusti ih. Neka te osudjuju. Neka te ne razumeju. Neka te ne vole.
Nije to poziv na ravnodušnost. Nije inat. To je put ka miru.
Jer koliko puta si zadržavala ono što ti već odavno beži? Koliko puta si se trudila da objasniš svoju vrednost?
Autorka te ovde, polako i nežno, podseća: ne moraš. I ne treba. Ali ono što ovu knjigu čini još važnijom jeste trenutak kad se sve preokrene. Kad shvatiš da “Let Them” ide ruku pod ruku sa “Let Me”.
“Let Them” te uči da tuđe odluke, emocije i ponašanje nisu tvoja odgovornost. Daje ti priliku da se uzdigneš iznad onoga što ne možeš da kontrolišeš. Pusti njih — da biraju svoje, jer ne možeš da utičeš na tudje izbore.
“Let Me” ti vraća moć.
Da odlučiš kako ćeš ti na to da odgovoriš.
Da li ostaješ, odlaziš, razumeš ih ili postavljaš granicu. Pusti sebe — da rasteš, da mirno kažeš ne, da se menjaš, da ne moraš sve da razumeš odmah. Jer ti si u kontroli svojih emocija, misli i akcija.
Let me love myself more.
Let me leave when it hurts.
Let me choose peace over drama.
I tad knjiga više nije o njima.
Postaje o tebi. O onome što si nekada pokušavala da zadržiš, a danas puštaš — jer znaš da ono pravo ne traži da izgubiš sebe da bi ga imala.
Ako ti treba knjiga koja će ti dati slobodu i otvoriti vidike — pročitaj ovu.
Zatvorićeš je s tišim mislima, mekšim grudima i jednim malim, velikim osećajem:
Biće sve u redu. Jer sad puštam. I sebe. I njih.
