Synopsis

Piles of junk in garages and closets, overflowing papers on desks, items unused for years, masses of unanswered email, clothing never worn, useless gifts that collect dust; all these things, says Brooks Palmer, come weighted with shame and guilt and have a suffocating effect on spirit and soul. In this insightful book, Palmer shows how to get rid of the things in our lives that no longer serve us. By tossing out these unneeded items, we are also eliminating their negative influences, freeing up energy, and unlocking our potential.

Loaded with inspiring anecdotes and practical tips, Clutter Busting is based on the premise that your things are not sacred, but you are. The book explores such fundamental topics as the false identities we assume through clutter, the fear of change those junk piles represent, the addictive nature of holding on to objects, how clearing clutter makes room for clarity and sweeps away confusion and stasis, and much more. With Brooks’s upbeat and compassionate guidance, you’ll find yourself clearing the way for new and exciting things to come into your life.

Goodreads review by Lana on August 13, 2010

I'm guilty of buying "declutter" books before with marginal results in real life. This book is different -- it doesn't address "organizing" but instead focuses on why you have all that "crap" in the first place. The book is full of stories of other people's struggle with emotional ties to things, an......more

Goodreads review by Flexanimous on May 01, 2014

I have a weird little addiction to these kinds of books. They all say the same thing but it's oddly comforting. This one deserves special mention because the author apparently thinks literally every problem can be solved by clearing clutter (save your marriage! get a raise! escape from your life as......more

Goodreads review by Cassandra on March 24, 2012

I LOVE this book. It isn't about organizing or cleaning. It's about getting to the emotional roots of a clutter problem. In each chapter, the author addresses the various emotional reasons people gather and keep clutter. Due of our materialistic culture, we believe things will make us happy and give......more
