This book is currently one of the bestsellers at Amazon in the sustainable living category. Decluttering really helps with living in smaller spaces. If you tend to be cluttered, try playing around with greater simplicity in your apartment, house, motorhome, or whatever you live in — and see how it makes you feel! I have lived in very small spaces a LOT and have fought my packrat tendencies many times. — Zana
Product Description
When Peter Walsh, organizational guru of TLC’s hit show Clean Sweep and a regular contributor to The Oprah Winfrey Show, appeared on national television shows and told people how they could reclaim their lives from the suffocating burden of their clutter, the response was overwhelming. People flooded Peter’s website (www.peterwalshdesign.com) with success stories about how his book had changed their lives.
Peter’s unique approach helped people everywhere learn to let go of the emotional and psychological clutter that was literally and figuratively choking the life out of their homes.
With his good humor and reassuring advice, Peter shows you how to face the really big question: What is the vision for the life you want to live? He then offers simple techniques and a step-by-step plan to assess the state of your home, prioritize your possessions, and let go of the clutter you have been holding on to that has kept you from living the life you imagine. The result is freed-up space, less stress, and more energy for living a happier, richer life every day.

Peter did a great job with this book. He hits on lots of points that I wholeheartedly agree with, especially the pasts about emotional attachment. His book is meant to be read cover to cover.
My books are a great companion to his since mine are meant to be read a tip or two at a time. Both 1,000 Best Quick and Easy Organizing Secrets and it’s companion 1,000 Best Time Saving Strategies round out his ideas.
My best suggestion is to buy the books, read a little and then take action! You’ll feel more in control and less overwhelmed immediately. Stop by Jamie Novak dot com for more ideas and a super helpful message board that you can read until your books arrive.

I watched a few episodes of that TV show Walsh is on, and he is clearly not a professional in any sense. He gives the impression of someone who somehow fell into an opening in front of a TV studio on his way to his job installing drywall.
One of his organizational strategies is shame, one of the most damaging emotions to mental and emotional health. In one episode, he drove a Korean woman not just to tears, but to actual sobbing, over the state of her guest room. He pummeled her with questions like: “Would you want your mother to stay in this room? Is that what you think of her? Is that how much she means to you?” Given the reverence bestowed upon elders in the Asian culture, it was especially mean.
Furthermore, disorganization is major feature of several neurological disorders, particularly ADD, and many of the afflicted are undiagnosed and untreated. Given their serious, lifelong struggles to get organized, it would not be surprising if a disproportionate number showed up on these TV shows seeking help. Shame would be particularly destructive to these individuals. As a form of toxic help, shame is a major player.
Walsh just doesn’t get it: organization or lack thereof is not a moral issue.

An incredibly repetitious book on several levels. I couldn’t find anything in it that justified my spending my time or money on it, and now it’s just one more thing cluttering up my life.
