Editorial Review: 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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - If you think it's hard to quit smoking;try getting rid of clutter.I managed to quit smoking about 20 years ago, when I was smoking over 2 packs a day.It was something I had tried to do many times but without success. I tried every trick in the book,but before long I was back smoking as much as ever.Why couldn't I quit? No reason at all,I certainly enjoyed it and the enjoyment obviously exceeded my will power.As a matter of fact,I have not even become an anti-smoker and still enjoy the aroma of smokers;but have decided to let them do it. However ... Read More Rating: - Help for all the clutter excusesPeter Walsh, star of TLC's Clean Sweep, is part organizational pro and part psychologist. I have been a fan of Clean Sweep for a long time and enjoy the way Peter works with people to help them clean out the clutter. I have to admit that I have long used the "excuse" of "It's Too Important To Let Go" in my life in order to hold on to things that I believe have sentimental value. In my efforts to control the clutter I have piled up, I fell into the trap of thinking that if I could buy one more storage ...

And he has some great little nuggets to remember: "If the family heirloom is gathering dust in the basement, don't tell me it is something important or has personal value." And concerning that over run basement: "It's not like you come downstairs one day and make a decision that you'd rather fill the basement with old lawn furniture and off-season clothes than have a place ... Read More Rating: - A life-changing book!Peter Walsh, the professional organizer from TLC's reality show "Clean Sweep" holds forth on how and why we are overwhelmed with "junk" and what we can do about it. Instead of offering simple "how to clean" advice he tackles the psychology of why people have trouble letting go of things. Basically, there are two reasons people have trouble thinning down. 1) They have an irrational sentimental attachment to an item. This explains why people keep broken, unusable goods, or family heirlooms ... Read More Rating:  - Walsh's clueless, toxic helpI 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 ... Read More |
