Best book on topic | Customer Rating: | | I've read a few books on clutter and this is the best. The author does a wonderful insightful job of getting at the issues behind clutter. She understands brain and body physiology and incorperates that information to help the reader understand why clutter happens. The stance is supportive, empathic, realistic and encouraging. | Effective | Customer Rating: | | This book is the only book I've read that has had a permanent effect on decluttering for me. While it is a little tedious to get through, I discovered that upon finishing it, I was actually changing my habits. I had been in the midst of a house-wide declutter project, but it would certainly have crept back to the normal messy state of things if I hadn't changed my habits. It changed the little day to day ways I manage my things and changed my way of thinking. It was a little short on specific strategies, and was quite deficient on managing papers, reading materials and documents (was more focused on getting rid of/managing things), but I am still giving it 5 stars since it has had such a positive impact in my life. | Making Peace with the Things in Your Life | Customer Rating: | | I did not read the book entirely. From my brief scanning the book seems to be very informative and instructional-- a good guide. | WAY BEST! | Customer Rating: | | This is by far the most useful book on decluttering I've read. It gets right down into your heart and helps you sort out what you find there. It doesn't tell you what products to buy, but helps you understand what blips in your brain chemistry or psychology may be contributing to the clutter problem, and suggests specific strategies for dealing with the various reasons. | A different way to look at your stuff (clutter) | Customer Rating: | | As others have written,I too have read many, many, MANY clutter, organizing, packrat books. I still have so many, they have contributed to the clutter. This was one of the good ones. My problem is not organizing my stuff-- I want to get rid of it. Most books give you detailed file organizing and specific instructions. I wanted to know WHY I couldn't let go of so many things. This may not be everyone's problem, but it was mine. Once I understood why, it actually helped to get rid of them - not organize them. |
