Clutter Busting

De: Brooks Palmer

Narrado por: Brooks Palmer

Piles of junk in garages and closets, overflowing papers on desks, items unused for years, masses of unanswered email, clothing never worn, useless gifts that collect dust; all these things, says Brooks Palmer, come weighted with shame and guilt and have a suffocating effect on spirit and soul. In this insightful book, Palmer shows how to get rid of the things in our lives that no longer serve us. By tossing out these unneeded items, we are also eliminating their negative influences, freeing up energy, and unlocking our potential.

Loaded with inspiring anecdotes and practical tips, Clutter Busting is based on the premise that your things are not sacred, but you are. The book explores such fundamental topics as the false identities we assume through clutter, the fear of change those junk piles represent, the addictive nature of holding on to objects, how clearing clutter makes room for clarity and sweeps away confusion and stasis, and much more. With Brooks's upbeat and compassionate guidance, you'll find yourself clearing the way for new and exciting things to come into your life.

This is the most comprehensive book about clutter busting

I have read several books since lost five years from different authors some of them are good but this is excellent because it talks about your psychological dependency, causes and solutions basically it talks about the roots of being cluttered.
I have no idea Claudette is south is a disease psychological disease but how do you get rid of it do you want to see a psychologist years and years or you want to read a good book in the meantime getting rid of the things and I am reading again now this book after so many years I have been trying to get rid of my things which is not easy which is not easy.
It is actually not just about clutter he talks how about you yourself who you are where you are what do you want or where you want to be when you're free in yourself.
I am 70 years old I have collections antiques for 4045 years and I'm trying to get rid of them I had no idea being collected his was a psychological disease anyway at least to the level where I am or where I was.
The book is much more about enlightenment life than just talking about Clutter.
This is recorded message I have not look at into the grammar typing Errors I'll be back again once I do relieve myself from some sort of clutter that I'll have more updates but I am now.
Please do me a favor even if you're not closer person like I am to the level stop by the book or listen to audiobook like I am doing and it will help you tremendously.
🔑🔑🔑 I wish I had read that kind of book or I had a coach 30-40 years ago I would have not been in the station where I am now. Having a Audiobooks helped me a lot because it is well narrated and it feels like all the time he's talking to me what a pleasant frenzy coaching voice

Excellent - very inspiring and insightful

Not an organizing book - rather a book to detach from the myriad of stuff in our lives which constitute clutter and free ourselves from its hold on us. Clutter of all sorts...physical as well as the mental and emotional clutter which support/cause the physical clutter. How releasing the physical clutter can also release long held mental and emotional clutter. Relating helpful true life accounts of how the author has assisted numerous clients with many and varying sorts of clutter. I believe this book has the opportunity to help most anyone with any level of clutter issues… Even if they believe they do not have clutter issues. Best to embrace this book with an open mind and heart, allowing space for change in your life…truly beneficial change and transformation. Both inspiring and motivational offering tips and exercises for embracing and successfully clutter busting your life. Highly recommended. Also written with good doses of humor/levity.

The perfect motivation

This book is full of fantastic honesty to help you get rid of the junk around you that is pulling you down. I found myself taking notes from the beginning. This is such a great complement to The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up. I’ve immediately started putting his advice into practice, and I’m excited to do more. Thank you!!!

Very organized and insightful book

Wow, really zoomed in on clutter attracting areas and actually reasons about why one should let it go and clear out whatever no longer serves you. I am actually taking action, slowly but surely and can see that this is the start of truly paring down my possessions. (Clutter!). There are parts of the book where I cringe because I am so guilty. Action will change that.

Love Beyond Words

I am struggling with really bad anxiety and depression. My house was a reflection of my brain. After I understood the why's behind why we keep things, I was able to let go. This book has truly transformed the way I think and feel in my home. I know longer worry about the stuff I was holding on to because it's finally gone. I can focus on priorities instead of everything at once and stress no more. I would recommend everyone read this book.

Third Time Through & Counting

I'm going to probably end up listening enough times I will be able to recite it. Can't say how many times I just felt like he was talking straight to me... It's already helped me let go of a lot i didn't realize I was holding onto, and others I couldn't remember why. Inner or Outer clutter, it's all gotta go!

Love it!

I have been slowly working towards minimizing my life for awhile. Each book I listen to spurs me on my journey and provides me with new tools. I listen to it while I clutter bust and I feel inspired and determined. Thank you so much!

Best Book I've Ever Read (Listened to) on Clutter

I've read a LOT of books on clutter. And, thanks to those (especially Peter Walsh - "It's All Too Much"), I got rid of a lot of the easy stuff. But several cluttery things have persisted, and until now, I was unable to move forward.

First, let me say that I consider myself a competent, emotionally stable, and confident person. Anyone who knows me would say the same. I've been a leader, a mentor, and the go-to person if you feel stuck. Further, if you walked into my house, you'd ask.. "what clutter?". I've hid it all well into closets, nice storage containers, and neatly stacked piles hidden behind closed doors. That said, the pile of clothes in my large walk-in closet is another story. I've also neatly organized overwhelming amounts of recipes, art, home décor, junk mail that "might" interest me someday, plants (and vases), cleaning products, candles etc. I've also accumulated e-mail that I can't seem to delete, and obligations and people that I don't particularly want in my life. This book has caused me to see things about myself that I have not seen previously. There are parts of myself I have buried into my closets, piles, and commitments, including ambivalent and conflicting beliefs about what I want and who I want to be.

This book has made me see that my stuff is holding me back. For example. I realize that my closet holds clothing that represents the person I wish I could become (clothing that is too small, or was trendy in the magazine/store), and clothing that represents the person I fear I could become (clothes that are too large -- you know.. in case I get too fat!! ). This has forced me to ask myself...."who am I in this moment?... who do I want to become? Do I really want to become this person that wears this mini-skirt, or this oversized elasticized waisted pair of shorts? Why am I not wearing these now?"... Then I realize I'm ashamed of the body I have and the weight I am... and holy cr@#....what a Pandora's box of emotion in that closet! I had no idea that I was feeling shame about how I looked, and these items that are too small, or sexy and trendy just serve as a reminder of that shame. And the clothes that are too big serve as a reminder that I fear I'll be out-of-control with eating -- another shameful belief. I *NEVER* pictured myself as a person who has shame about anything. Geeze. If you told me I'd see my stuff in this light (before reading this book), I'd have told you that you were crazy. Not me.

With the help of this author I've actually connected dots between my "stuff", my weight, my self-image, and what's really important to me. I've even started seeing why I continue to buy more, and eat more, and take on more responsibilities than I want to have. WOW....Epiphany City!

One of my favorite *reminders* from this author is to also "let go" of "expectations". This is huge for me. Sometimes I can get too attached to how I want things to go, or to be. And this doesn't allow space for other unexpected (and good) things to enter. It's also incredibly draining mentally. It is a fabulous reminder to create empty spaces so that things can enter that serve us better. and to let go of outcomes. He offers plenty of "exercises" to do in order to help let go of these things and make space for the things that better represent who we are right now, and who we want to become.

I highly recommend this book, and encourage all who read/listen to this book to keep an open mind about what you might find.

EXCELLENT!!

The content of this book is amazing, and it will be invaluable to anyone with a clutter problem.

Brooks narrates the book beautifully and conveys the content in a calm, kind and non-judgemental manner.

The most insightful organizing book I've found

He speaks slowly and unemotional but hang in there because you will learn a lot about your self and how to get to clarity and peace with your stuff!
