Today`s Book #03 ------------------------------------------------------------- The Let Them Theory: Mel Robbins A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About "The Let Them Theory" is not a book, but rather a viral concept popularized by podcast host and author Mel Robbins. The theory offers a simple strategy for reducing stress and improving relationships by accepting that you cannot control other people's actions or feelings. The core idea is to stop resisting and trying to manage what others do and instead, "let them" be. This allows you to find peace and focus on what you can control: your own reactions and boundaries. Here's a simple breakdown of the theory: 🧿 For relationships: If friends don't invite you to a party, *let them*. You can't force them to include you. This reveals who wants to be in your life. 🧿 For expectations:If someone thinks negatively of you, *let them*. You can't control their opinion, and trying to will only exhaust you. 🧿 For actions: If someone doesn't want to put in the effort you expect, *let them*. Their actions (or lack thereof) provide you with valuable information about their priorities. By "letting them," you detach from outcomes you can't dictate. This isn't about being passive or condoning bad behavior. Instead, it's about observing people's true character based on their choices, which then empowers you to make informed decisions about who deserves a place in your life. The theory encourages you to invest your energy in your own growth and in relationships with people who reciprocate your efforts.

He carries with them what might be the museum's most valuable and dangerous jewel, the "Sea of Flames." They take refuge with Marie-Laure's reclusive great-uncle, Etienne, in the coastal town of Saint-Malo. As the war intensifies, Marie-Laure and Etienne become involved in the French Resistance, using an old radio to broadcast crucial information.

Today's book #Days 01 Sophie's World a novel by Jostein Gaarder --------------------------------------------- That tells the story of Sophie Amundsen, a 14-year-old girl who receives mysterious letters from an anonymous philosopher, Alberto Knox. These letters take her on a profound journey through the history of Western philosophy, from the Pre-Socratics to the modern era. Alberto Knox becomes Sophie's mentor, systematically teaching her key philosophical concepts and thinkers. Sophie learns about: * Ancient Greek Philosophy: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle. * Hellenistic Philosophy: Stoicism, Epicureanism. * Medieval Philosophy: The influence of Christianity and the synthesis of faith and reason. * The Renaissance, Baroque, and Enlightenment: Rationalism, Empiricism, and Kant's thought. * 19th & 20th-Century Philosophy: Kierkegaard, Marx, Darwin, Freud, up to existentialism. As Sophie delves deeper into philosophy, she also uncovers a mystery about her own existence. It turns out that she and Alberto are characters in a book being written by Albert Knag for his daughter, Hilde Møller Knag. The novel cleverly blends philosophical lessons with a meta-narrative, questioning reality, perception, free will, and the nature of existence. "Sophie's World" serves as both an engaging coming-of-age story and a comprehensive, yet accessible, introduction to philosophy.
