I just finished this book and really enjoyed it. Walsh has a personable writing style and can convey the hard truth (that stuff's gotta' go!) without browbeating the reader. I did catch a big gaffe, in that he recommends making digital copies of CD's on your computer and throwing away the CD's (Ummm... can you say copyright law violation?), but overall his tips are worthwhile. And really, this book isn't about the tips, it's about overcoming the frame of mind that keeps us hoarding the things that we never use and don't need, and keeping our eyes on the prize of living in a home that enhances our lives, instead of detracting from them.

This was a helpful book. There were useful tips for even those who aren't serious hoarders - as well as on how to identify whether you are one! I've been on the get organized track for a long time so have pretty much achieved my goal, but this book left me with some serious reminders to keep on track.

I really like this book. It gives me new ideas for why we keep our stuff, and if we should. I don't agree with everything, but that's ok. Some Mama's keepsakes from raising her babies just AREN't going to be tossed.

A quick read with helpful insight into breaking the absurd attachment to our "stuff." Enjoyed it very much... now to put it to work!
