This week on Go Help Yourself, Lisa and Misty are joined by guest host Alisa Manjarrez to review the #1 New York Times Bestseller The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About by Mel Robbins and Sawyer Robbins.

The Let Them Theory is a HUGE book. It promises to "forever change the way you think about relationships, control, and personal power. Whether you want to advance your career, motivate others to change, take creative risks, find deeper connections, build better habits, start a new chapter, or simply create more happiness in your life and relationships, this book gives you the mindset and tools to unlock your full potential." And in this Let Them book review podcast, we cover all the ways we think this book does -- and doesn't -- deliver.

Lisa also shares two articles that discuss some shortcomings of the theory, from The Cut and from Vox.

Get ready for lots of laughs! On this episode of Go Help Yourself, Lisa sits down with Jim O'Heir, best known for his role playing the lovable punching bag Jerry on Parks and Recreation. Jim wrote a book about his experiences on the show, which Lisa read and reviews... all while doing her best to turn it into a self-help book, because she can't help herself. (Get it?) :)

In this Welcome To Pawnee book review podcast, Jim and Lisa share insights about working in the entertainment industry: the highs, the lows, and everything in between. But they mostly laugh and giggle because they are silly and funny and wonderful friends.

If you'd like to learn more about Jim O'Heir, you can follow him on instagram. If you'd like to read Jim's book, you can purchase Welcome to Pawnee here.
