Do you know * what is the best thing about confronting your fears? It ^lets you see how much it has destroyed you.

Hi Jezebel,

* Personally, I find that "what is" redundant and superfluous. You can either keep it or omit it. The phrase "Do you know the best thing" focuses the reader's attention on something which is considered the best. Similarly, "what is" also specifies something in a question. 

Another example: 

Do you know what is the name of this painting? 

Do you know what is the name of this painting? (Personally, I would choose this version as it expresses my question in a more concise manner.)

^ It is a singular pronoun and should be paired with a singular verb (lets). Just as a side comment, "let's" is a contraction for "let us". "It let's you see how much..." means "It let us you see how much..." which does not make grammatical sense. 

I hope this helps.
