Publisher's summary

This book is for you or for the person you know with piles upon piles of books and mail that take up their living room and plague their lives. This is for the people who feel like they are suffocating under the mess and clutter and feel like they have to burn down their houses to properly start over. This book is also for those who feel like they are throwing parts of themselves away when they think about giving away or throwing away their stuff. It's for the people who struggle to get rid of a thing because they feel obligated to honor their possessions. This book is for people who live in a mess, but don't know where to start or how to fix it.

Mess and clutter are symptoms of consumerism, which harms not just you, but the planet, too. Through the ideology of minimalism and a heck of a lot of information on cleaning, sorting, and organizing, the people who pick up this book can find some solace and solutions to their issues. You'll be getting more information about decluttering and cleaning than you'll ever need, but you'll also discover why it's so easy to develop these bad habits in the first place, and how we've ingrained those harmful habits into our society for generations.

Break the cycle and learn how to declutter your home - not just for now, but for good. Not just for yourself, but for your children too.

Excellent book

I really enjoyed this book. Though I’m not typically too bad for accumulating clutter, I did have several “ah-ha” moments, and I will definitely be letting go of some things that I have been hanging onto. As an added bonus there are lots of tips on how to keep your home clean and organized. There’s great information that will have me thinking twice before accumulating more in the future. Well researched and easy to listen to.

Decluttering your mind and your life!

This book is amazing! While I am not too bad in collecting meaningless items, I think most of us occasionally get caught up with consumerism and over sentimentalism and tend to hold onto things that do not have true value. The author brings about so many clarity points in WHAT you should value in your life, and the best part: she teaches you how to do it! I will definitely be implementing points that I have learned in this book.

The Path to more clarity in life

This book makes you stop and think while giving an interesting insight into modern consumerism. My favourite chapter was on the history of human behaviour and consumption which helps you understand how we have evolved to our present buying habits. There are also some great tips on decluttering your space and becoming more organised. A great addition to my personal growth journey.
