Resumen del Editor

Stuff. It's everywhere. Lurking in corners and closets, spilling onto counters and coffee tables, creating havoc everywhere we look. And it's not just the physical clutter that weighs us down. Oh no, it is the stress of overbooked schedules, and the weight of life that sometimes feels oppressive and totally out of whack.

New York Times best-selling author Ruth Soukup feels your pain - she has been there too. Through personal stories, Biblical truth, and practical action plans, she will inspire and empower each of us to finally declutter not just our home, but our mind and soul as well. Unstuffed is real, honest, and gets right down to the question we are all facing - how can we take back our lives from the stuff that is weighing us down?

In this audiobook, together we will:

• Create a comprehensive vision for our homes and make instant changes to improve its overall function
• Discover that more closet space is not the solution and instead learn how to set strict limits for the stuff we bring in
• Overcome the frustration of dealing with our kids' influx of stuff and implement practical solutions for keeping the chaos at bay
• Recognize the pitfalls of an overstuffed schedule before it gets out of hand and instead learn to combat the culture of busy that keeps us running from one thing to the next
• Finally conquer that mountain of paperwork that threatens to tumble down around us at any moment
• Let go of the guilt that gets attached to gifts and instead learn to separate our loved ones from their stuff
• Begin to cultivate our real friendships while eliminating the toxic relationships that weigh us down

Awesome!!!! I needed this!

She is the best!!!! It was like I was telling the story about myself!!!! It is such a relief to know that I am not the only one like this. If you need uplifting just give her books a try!

Fantastic!

Another great book from Ruth! Ruth opens our eyes to the truth behind "our stuff" and not just the ways of getting rid of it.

ready, set, go!!

it has been so helpful and encouraging as I embark on a huge unstuffing project.

so much great information!

helped me see the value in not just holding onto stuff. I was able to think through getting gifts for the grand daughters. Mother's asked for now gifts at party's but we had to do something. so we talked and got them tickets to events. so thankful for the help.

GREAT READ!! Will Re-Read it and gift it as well!!

Any additional comments?

This book really helped me process my thoughts and helped me create a few goals and tips to use right away! Enjoyed listening to the book and there are tons of great points! I will recommend this book to anyone who is looking to Unstuff their life!

Poorly Organized

This book had a great mission, but was very disorganized and poorly executed. I was distracted by the many anecdotes that were introduced only to be expanded upon several chapters later, and I felt that some stories had much more detail than necessary to make her point, such as the cabbage patch doll story. I also felt that the story about her past should have been much closer to the beginning of the book, and overall this should have been packaged more as a memoir than a general self-development book. There were definitely some good ideas in this here, but there are many other books in which to find inspiration for decluttering and minimalism that are better written.

Worked for me!

I listened to this one very quickly. I really like this narrator because she sounds so relatable. The tips were VERY useful and my house has stayed clean and far more organized since I finished the book.
There are a lot of little references to bible passages, but if you listen to the entire book, you'll understand that the author is not preachy, just true to herself. I don't like having others beliefs forced on me, but the book didn't make me feel like that at all. I've never read her blog but the book was written in such a way that you didn't need to be up to date on her blog posts.

Exactly what I needed to start truly decluttering!

This is not a step-by-step guide for decluttering BUT I found it was something that I needed to finally start having success in the difficult process of decluttering. I accepted that I wouldn't ever have a clean & organized home because I simply had TO MUCH STUFF. Not all clutter is junk or trash, and that was my biggest problem, and this book opened my eyes to the truth I needed.

Organization made easy

Such a good book on organizing your life. It was totally worth while to read.

Great ideas

This book has a lot of wonderful ideas for unstuffing your life. I particularly enjoyed the sections regarding sentimental items and items of those who have passed away. While the narrator was not my favorite, the content was well worth listening to.
