Critic reviews

"Walsh...has written a self-help guide for the slovenly. He addresses the psychology that drives people to accumulate, helps readers come to terms with their own issues, and guides them in a plan to streamline and organize." (Akron Beacon Journal)

An eye opener!

An eye opener. A great "jump off" for family discussions. I would recommend, even to those that don't think they have a clutter problem.

Great book

This is a great book to listen to while Decluttering! It helps me to listen to decluttering books while I work. I forgot how much I missed Peter Walsh from Clean Sweep on TV years ago. I would definitely recommend his decluttering books.

Best Book EVER for Decluttering!

Not just a 'wash the dishes and the rest will follow' thing. This is a step by step, room by room with all of the hows and whys. It's perfect...get it!

Small Steps....

I have to admit it. I was convinced that Peter Walsh was talking about me in this book. I could identify so well with so many aspects of it that I was truly horrified. Time after time, I heard him describe me and my method of acquiring stuff, storing stuff, needing stuff, and hiding a whole lot of it from others! I've listened to this book several times and I never fail to come away with another tidbit to assist me with my "problems". I've begun with small steps and while it would be nice to have him visit my home, I think I can probably manage to get it all under control with only his voice prodding me along. If you are considering this book at all, then you are definitely described in it at some point, so go ahead and buy it. We all know who we are. We might not want to know it. We certainly wouldn't want to admit it because then we'd have to deal with it. Walsh is 100% on target and even if I am horrified at the prospect of digging out of my "clutter cage", he's given me the "tools" to set myself free.

Light listening & to the point

I like the reasoning he gives for getting your house and your life, in order. I've listened to it twice, and got as much out of it the second time. Especially good to keep yourself on track when you find yourself reverting to old habits.
