Lighten Up

Love What You Have, Have What You Need, Be Happier with Less

By: Peter Walsh

Narrated by: John Lee

In his previous best-selling books, Peter Walsh helped audiences successfully get rid of the clutter in their homes, on their bodies, and in the six key emotional and spiritual areas of their lives. Now, in Lighten Up, Walsh explores what happens when the clutter is finally gone and shows listeners how to let go of wanting more and learn to live a richer, fuller life with what they already own. For many of us, the new austerity has left us feeling afraid and deprived, but Walsh explains that this shift in priorities is a great opportunity to reassess our lives and circumstances and make changes that focus us on the things that really matter. He asks two questions: How much does the life you want cost---in money, time, and energy? And what would your ideal life be? He then offers clear practical steps to help listeners find the balance between these two answers and offers ways to scale down their wants by repurposing, reusing, and reimagining what they already own so that they can create a life of clarity, balance, and peace.

so right

Peter looks at things some people don't want to see. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it . He keeps us on our toes. I will listen to it often so as not to forget the precious life guidelines.

Less is more. All my clutter is costing me.

I like the presentation, definitely the content, the qualifications of the author, the supporting stories, and the encouragement to make changes, even when painful, toward, a great reward.

Miss Peter's Narration...

I love this book! It covers where me and so many are at this time! I am not saying that John Lee didn't do a great job narrating, but I do miss Peter's voice and his personality that comes though!
