Book Reviews of It's All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff

Book Review: new approach to decluttering
Summary: 5 Stars

I've read a lot of decluttering books to motivate me to get of my junk and some have been really helpful for a time. However, they've all concentrated on 'the stuff'. Peter Walsh approaches the problem from the other side, on how you would like your house to look and the purpose/functions of each room (if it wasn't full of stuff!). Importantly he also points out that different family members can see a different purpose for the same room and so see different things belonging there.

Taking the concentration off of 'your stuff' seems to make it so much easier to let go of it. I have pretty painlessly got rid of bags of stuff that I've had real trouble letting go of before. My house seems so much lighter!
