"I needed this book. Didnt read it word for word. Really, just reading the title every few days was enough to get me on my horse and clear out a bunch of clutter from my life."
"I was hoping for something a little different, but this turned out to be mostly pop-y self help in the form of getting rid of emotional clutter in the form of physical clutter. Still, pretty useful. Satisfied my reader-nesting-instinct."
"This book was as much philosophy of why people hoard as a how-to on getting rid of "stuff." The basic premise was: S eparate your treasures H eave your trash E mbrace your identity D rive yourself forward Morgenstern encourages 'material detachment and radical generosity.' Maryann Hershey: "May your walls know joy; may every room hold laughter and every window open to great possibilities." William Morris: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." Mark Twain: "A habit cannot be tossed out the window; it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time." Morgenstern suggests we rephrase the question "How much can I do?" to "How little can I do.""
"I was thinking of my messy basement when I checked this out of the library. This book surprised me ~ both in content and delivery. It made me think more about my mental clutter. I almost think it would be a valuable book to have on everyone's shelf as a reference guide for clearing out home and head."
