Mel Robbins | What Would a Stoic Think About The Let Them Theory?

Über diese Folge

<p>Would the Stoics agree with Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory? In today's episode, Mel Robbins sits down with Ryan to look at The Let Them Theory through a Stoic lens. They discuss what Marcus Aurelius would really say about letting go, where acceptance becomes strength, and why so much of our stress comes from fighting things that were never in our control to begin with. Ryan and Mel talk about jealousy and comparison, why letting go does not mean giving up, and learning how to protect your energy. </p><p>Mel Robbins is the creator and host of the award-winning<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@melrobbins" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> <em>The Mel Robbins Podcast</em></a><em>, </em>one of the most successful podcasts in the world, and a #1 <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Let-Them-Theory-Life-Changing-Millions/dp/1401971369" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Let Them Theory</em></a> was the top selling book of 2025 according to <em>Publisher’s Weekly</em>, with +7 million copies sold within nine months of its release date.
