Product Description:
When Peter Walsh, organizational guru of TLC's hit show Clean Sweep and a regular contributor to The Oprah Winfrey Show, appeared on national television shows and told people how they could reclaim their lives from the suffocating burden of their clutter, the response was overwhelming. People flooded Peter's website (www.peterwalshdesign.com) with success stories about how his book had changed their lives.
Peter's unique approach helped people everywhere learn to let go of the emotional and psychological clutter that was literally and figuratively choking the life out of their homes.
With his good humor and reassuring advice, Peter shows you how to face the really big question: What is the vision for the life you want to live? He then offers simple techniques and a step-by-step plan to assess the state of your home, prioritize your possessions, and let go of the clutter you have been holding on to that has kept you from living the life you imagine. The result is freed-up space, less stress, and more energy for living a happier, richer life every day.

The really pleasant thing is that Peter Walsh makes you laugh at yourself for the ridiculous clutter you have clung to.And he has some great little nuggets to remember: "If the family heirloom is gathering dust in the basement, don't tell me it is something important or has personal value."
And concerning that over run basement: "It's not like you come downstairs one day and make a decision that you'd rather fill the basement with old lawn furniture and off-season clothes than have ... Read More

Peter Walsh, the professional organizer from TLC's reality show "Clean Sweep" holds forth on how and why we are overwhelmed with "junk" and what we can do about it.Instead of offering simple "how to clean" advice he tackles the psychology of why people have trouble letting go of things.
Basically, there are two reasons people have trouble thinning down.
1) They have an irrational sentimental attachment to an item.This explains why people keep broken, unusable goods, or family ... Read More
Rating:  - Walsh's clueless, toxic help
I watched a few episodes of that TV show Walsh is on, and he is clearly not a professional in any sense.He gives the impression of someone who somehow fell into an opening in front of a TV studio on his way to his job installing drywall.
One of his organizational strategies is shame, one of the most damaging emotions to mental and emotional health.In one episode, he drove a Korean woman not just to tears, but to actual sobbing, over the state of her guest room.He pummeled her with ... Read More
Rating:  - Buying this book will only add to your clutter
If you feel a need to read this book, please check it out of the local library.
There's little here in the way of new ideas and the book is very repetitive.Perhaps the author had a page quota to meet.
Two questions were helpful in thinking about clutter removal: What is the purpose of the room? How do you want to feel when you are in the room?
While the premise is that things must be culled and removed from the home, there is more stress on simply tossing things ... Read More
Rating: - Simplify
Simple and profoundly true.I sat down to rest, to write this.Must go back to THROWING THINGS AWAY, that are neither useful or important.Excellent book.
