This is a great resource for decluttering.

The audiobook is an excellent supplement to the book, however, it is just as easy to follow on its own. The "how-to" components are liberally splashed with anecdotes from the author's own experiences, as well as those of some of her clients , which keeps it interesting. I recommend listening to it once, then going back to whichever section covers the area you need to de-clutter for excellent advice and encouragement. I highly recommend this one. It is one of my top five and I have listened or read about two dozen books on the subject.

Preaching, no helping

The voice reading this is really aggressive and too intense which unfortunately leads to aversion. I wonder why reviews with 1 star are now allowed to be submitted?

Terrible, distracting narration

I’m so sorry to be blunt about the author and narrator, but she has a speech impediment and it was so distracting I became agitated while listening. The material is not really new or original, either, but she does have a passion for the topic. Beware she wants you to choose quotes for different rooms. Words on walls or in frames just isn’t the answer.

Useful

I like to listen to books about decluttering as I declutter. This book has a lot of useful information in it, some of it even new. I find that the author puts things in a way that makes me think about why I do what I do....or don't do.

Helpful.

I like that her tips aren’t based on a specific home decor/organizing ideology (ie minimalism).

Glad it was free but if it goes on sale I’ll buy it.

Totally Guilt-free Motivation

I love to listen to this in the background when I take on my larger than usual decluttering tasks. Keeps me moving and I find it much easier to discern what is really valuable vs. who else could find even more value in my item at their stage of life.

Easy steps

I liked the 15 minute declutter method. It was was any easier start for me. I didn’t feel overwhelmed and a reachable goal. I also liked the ideal of reusing what you have or refurbishing.

A good help and place to start

I grew up in a hoarder house. Clutter everywhere was my normal. I knew I didn’t want to live like that but I didn’t know HOW. This book is a great place to start and you can always go back and listen to the steps as needed. It’s fabulous.

Absolutely loved it!

I absolutely loved this audio book! I took several notes! Ignore the negative reviews…. Especially ones that complain about a speech impediment. If you struggle with decluttering this is a good place to start.

Reader has a speech impediment

The reader has a speech impediment and once you’ve heard it it’s all you hear vs the word the book is saying. Also a very harsh voice.

Aimed at Affluent Americans

I this book didn’t really say anything that was useful to those of us living in small homes (less than 50 square feet) and without that walk in wardrobe, pantry, office space, spare room, craft area, basement, garage and more than one toilet in the house, yet we still have to find a way to share the space with 5 other people and the items necessary for life. If you are living the American dream in a house that big snd it is full of clutter then you need a reality check on what the rest of the world might be like.
