It All Too Much An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff Peter Walsh 9780743292641 Books

I've read books on organization that go on and on about systems, inboxes, a place for everything and everything in its place. This book does have practical tips like that, but it's also so much more than that.

This book really gets into the "whys" of clutter:
- Why we have it?
- Why it's a problem?
- Why we know it's a problem and don't do anything about it?
- Why it holds us back from the life we could have?
- Why we should strive to remove it from our lives?

If you've never thought deeply about your possessions and why you have them, you should probably read this book.

Anyone can teach you how to put paper in a file cabinet. This book goes beyond that, and I look forward to living it instead of just reading about it.

It All Too Much An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff Peter Walsh 9780743292641 Books Reviews

I have read this book 3 times and listened to the audio book another 3 times because Peter Walsh is definitely THE BEST Organizing Guru ever! I say that because he takes the time to explain eloquently and very truthfully why we have too much and all the challenges and internal struggles we face. He is not about the trend or kitchy sayings or just the how to's but about the person and the best life we really do want to have. I highly recommend this book if you want self-awareness and empowerment.
I am through the first exercises of the book and have read a little further but decided to stop because I want to finish the exercises and reflect on my accomplishments before I move on. So far I love it. This is the first time I feel like someone "gets it". I can't afford to hire someone to help, so I've asked family for assistance and in a few months I'm back where I started. My sister doesn't understand why I have clutter and sometimes I don't either. Peter lays it all out for you in his book and assures you that there's nothing wrong with you. The way you and your family manage, not organize, your stuff is the problem.

Peter doesn't address "stuff" like most books and organizers. Instead, he asks what your family wants in life, and if the stuff you have is doing that for you. More than likely if you're reading this book, it's not!

Have you ever looked in magazines, and now pinterest, wishing for that perfect room to be in your house, but feel discouraged before you even get started and quickly give up? Me too!

Peter teaches you to look at your "stuff" differently and helps you throw out whatever excuse, fear or uncertainty you have to get started. I believe most people who have a problem with stuff are not lazy. I'm not. I am a wife, mother, commuter, full-time employee and I have to clean my own house. There isn't room for lazy, but there is room for clutter and "stuff" in the corners of my life.

You may think sitting down and reading Peter's book is a waste of time and that you should be cleaning instead. Trust me, I believe the time you invest in the book and exercises will increase your chances for success. Like we all know and Peter emphasizes, it didn't get this way in a week, so it probably won't clean up in a week. Keep going, we are!
very helpful and inspiring. I've gotten rid of a lot of "stuff" as a result of reading Peter Walsh's book(s). He is kind and compassionate and understands how hard it is to let "stuff" go and our emotional attachments. I was liberated.
We had to downsize which meant getting rid of half our stuff. I couldn't do it so began looking online for tips. I remembered Peter Walsh from his tv show and was pleased to see this book. This book gave me the confidence and the peace to let things go. If I began to feel weak I'd stop and read again reminding myself that it was just "stuff" and that I could do this.

It's been 5 years and we've since gone back to a bigger place but I don't miss the stuff. I reread this book when I need to declutter....again. It's amazing how stuff just seems to multiply. Peter Walsh is compassionate and kind. I love this book. It's one of my favorites.
Finally permission to toss and NOT feel guilty! I loved loved this book! I have felt like the "keeper of family mementos" with boxes of old items and letters taking up the valuable real estate in my rather small 1500 sq ft home. Never really enjoyed, just kept, and kept, and kept. WHY? Finally the permission that it's OK to let them go. Offer them to other family members if you like, but if no takers, let them go. They are not the memory itself.

I have the proverbial "guest bedroom". I make it so comfortable and clean for those over night guests that come, what, maybe 2 or 3 times a year? But this book gets you to ask yourself what the use you would truly need for each room in your home. Why dedicate an entire room for people who are rarely here 365days a year while other areas you live in are cramped and cluttered. I reevaluated all my rooms as this book directs you to. Such great advice!

For me, I decided my bedroom, which should only bring comfort and rest for you and your partner as this book tells you, shouldn't have the big ole treadmill in it, and the family room shouldn't have the big ugly desk cluttered with bills, magazines and paper work, so made the spare bedroom into the office and treadmill room! I added a comfy sofa bed to handle the rare over night company, but you could also just have a fold away.

In the kitchen I stripped of all the stuff you have to dig in to find what you really want to use like unused pots, pans, plastic, and cooking contraptions and ideas "As Seen on TV" items. Gone. And my family loves it. So clean and straight forward for use, not storage forever.

This was such a wonderful book and every page was filled with great advice!
