Thoughtful analysis of hoarding, and a sympathetic look at those whose lives are held hostage by their things. A welcome departure from the simplistic, easy-fix mentality that treats hoarders like a freak show.

While this is NOT a self-help book (and, in fact, Frost makes a very convincing case that such books are just something else to hoard, and not a solution), his presentations of case studies and psychology are very helpful to anyone (er, that would be me) who grew up among hoarders, and is aware of hoarding tendencies held at bay with a whip and chair.
