After a traumatic event in my life, one might call it mourning, and while I was ready to give up on everything, I decided to log into my Audible account and see if I had any credits for a book. Luckily for me, I had one, so I decided to use it.
However, I did not know what to purchase. I had heard of “Let Them”, but I was not entirely sure that it suited my ideology. I don't believe in that," I thought, but I quickly changed my mind when the author's credentials as a psychologist and expert came to light.
"I'll try it out. If I don't like it, I'll return it," I thought. The result? The book remains proudly and completely read in my library.
Without giving away any spoilers or saying why you should (or shouldn't) buy this book,
I will simply mention that the technique is based on allowing people to have their own feelings, thoughts, beliefs, ideas, ideals, and visions, and you have yours.
Το live your life without interfering in theirs, as long as they are adults and capable of managing their own lives.
Well written, with rich stories and many short chapters, I was able to listen to it even though I couldn't fully concentrate at some points. It is also very important that I learned some protocols from this book that are applicable and practical in my own practice as a psychologist.
Why should you read this book, you may ask. The truth is, I was a little biased when I heard it, as I was going through a period of mourning in my life. But I want to make it clear that it gave me hope and the motivation to continue my writing journey.
It was there when I was finally ready to move on. To the next topic/book. Like a good friend who let them but at the same time gave me time and space (let me) to talk.
To some, it may seem very simplistic and simply written, but I want to tell you that the style of the text is worthwhile.
Just as you are worthwhile.
So let them be. Let you be!
