by Reid Mockery, Mikayla Cvik (Narrator)

Tired of walking on eggshells? Exhausted from overthinking every damn thing you say, wear, or post because some dusty cousin, jealous coworker, or internet rando might have a problem with it?

Good.

Welcome to The Fu*k Them Theory , the boundary-breaking, side-splitting parody of The Let Them Theory that says what we’re all thinking—but with way more swearing, sarcasm, and unapologetic sass. In this no-holds-barred manifesto, author Reid Mockery, Ph.D. (Doctor of Problem People Studies), serves up a firestorm of tough love, hilarious real-life stories, and absolutely savage advice for dealing with the walking disasters in your life.

Family guilt trips? Fu*k Them.

Toxic coworkers? Fu*k Them!

Social media stress? You guessed it.

Say goodbye to people-pleasing, over-explaining, and chronic “sorry syndrome.” The Fu*k Them Theory hands you the lighter and dares you to torch your insecurities—while cackling all the way to the “Block” button.

Side effects may include newfound swagger, instant stress relief, and an irresistible urge to finally cut ties with your ex.

I took this book on holiday with me, and I couldn't think of a better time when to apply this theory. I am body conscious, but you know, Fu*k them if they don't like what they see. And Fu*k me for -almost- allowing myself to not wear that bikini because I was worried what others may think. I laughed all the way through and even quoted some parts to my partner when he saw me giggling. Everyone needs some brutal honesty, and that's exactly what we got reading this book. I will be recommending this to all my family and friends, it's such an easy read and a fairly quick one too. I've already applied this theory multiple times whilst on holiday, I can't wait to continue applying it when I'm home! Thank you for this life changing view!

What a great read, this book had me giggling, nodding in agreement and generally agreeing with the concept.

As I have gotten older I have generally stopped giving a f**k about what people think about me. I do think it comes with age and once you get past 40 it comes to most of us.

Don’t like me, don’t care. I just now need to adapt some of this theory and the theory of this book to the aspects of my life.

Such a great read, I would recommend to anyone who likes the idea of loosening up in life a little.

Thank you so much for a great book.

This was bought as a bit of a joke as I was after The let them theory then saw this! Love me a bit of humour!

It did make me giggle in places! It was funny in parts! It also surprised me with some valid useful tips!

Things such as ‘if it doesn’t affect your bank account, your body or your bedtime, stop thinking about it! An emotional response only last 6 seconds!

It did give me food for thought and there are parts I will give a go to seriously trying out!

If you like a paradoy! A laugh and like a joke then pick this up and laugh along for the ride! You might even learn something!

Anyone who reads the bestseller lists, knows the The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. This book actually says what people want to say. It's hilarious, but it is packed with good advice for stress, relationships, and family. I get that some people will have trouble with the language. That's ok. But, that didn't stop Mark Manson selling a zillion copies of The Subtle Art... My copy is highlighted with all kinds of quotes. Yours will be too. Two Thumbs Up

A brilliant non-fiction guidance on getting the most out of yourself

This simple down to earth book is enriched with lots of amazing guidance on everyday situations.
Yes, we are not everybody cup of tea a d we can't get them to change their perception personally. The solution is to sod them and move on.
But this book is well written and enjoyable and highly recommended.
Best wishes Sean

Great Sequel to The Let Them Theory

A must read after Mel Robbin’s The Let Them Theory. Takes Mel’s advice to another level through Reid’s interpretation of life and dealing with others. Having now read both books, you either feel enlightened or educated on how to appreciate your self being.

[Aamir Hassan · Rating 4 out of 5]

A parody of Mel Robbins ‘Let Them Theory’ and it is CHAOTIC in the best way! I felt like the author was screaming erratically through the pages at me and shaking me violently to wake me the fu*k uk and I absolutely loved that 😂😂

It’s not fancy and it’s catered to anyone and everyone! Read it and enjoy the screaming haha!

[Casey · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn’t love this entire book but the message of the book really was hammered home and made a difference.
It allowed me to reflect on the fact that taking a moment, a deep breathe, pausing for a few seconds and internally responding with fuck them, is a good enough response. You don’t always have to say something back, just let people be.

[Andrea Kekesi · Rating 5 out of 5]

A true reflection of f.. them that starts with f.. me

I love the book; unapologetically honest reflection , only for the barber ones who are ready to self analyse without excuses and bravely look into the eye of the monster that called social expectations:)

[Annie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love Mel Robbins book “Let Them” and when this came up on my reading list, I thought it was worth a read. Take it somewhat tongue-in-cheek, and what you disagree with, remember the title of the book!

[Princess Alexis · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a good book, it helped me a lot. However, this is not so much a parody as is someone probably wanting to write their own interpretation of the Let Them Theory with a similar titles as the subtle art without getting sued.

Refreshing insight into setting boundaries

Really enjoyed reading this, refreshing and practical - yes attention grabbing but once you start reading you may recognise some of your own behaviours - well recommended

[Jenifer Weiland · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lands

Dumping the emotional bucket out with this one. Mic drops every chapter mixed with humor. Keeping this book close, will read many times

[Elizabeth · Rating 5 out of 5]

A straight to the point book

This is a great wee book that tries to show you the way to stand up for yourself but in a strongly worded reaction. Easy reading and enjoyable

hilariously needed

This book was fun to read and great for my mental health. Just what I needed when I needed it.

[T · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was the first "self-help book" I've ever read, and although it was a parody there were a good few insightful nuggets
