"In writing this book, I've spoken to many of the world's leading experts in psychology, neuroscience, behavioral science, relationships, stress, and happiness. You'll meet them as you read the book, and their research will help you apply the theory in countless situations in your life. As you'll soon see, the science is clear: This thing works. And it works really well."
"But this book isn't just about introducing you to the Let Them Theory. It's about a fundamental law of human nature: All human beings have a hardwired need for control. We all have an innate desire to control everything about our lives: our time, our thoughts, our actions, our environment, our plans, our future, our decisions, and our surroundings. Feeling in control makes you feel comfortable and safe, so naturally you try to control everyone and everything around you-oftentimes, without even realizing it."
Personal growth requires stopping the expenditure of energy on things outside one's control, especially attempts to change other people. Two years of research and interviews with experts in psychology, neuroscience, behavioral science, relationships, stress, and happiness underpin the approach. The science indicates that relinquishing control over others improves relationships and promotes transformation. Humans possess a hardwired need for control that drives attempts to manage time, thoughts, actions, environment, plans, future, decisions, and surroundings. Feeling in control creates comfort and safety, which leads to unconscious efforts to control others. Focusing control on one's own thoughts and actions yields measurable benefits.
