I found the concept of the book to come along at the perfect time in my life, since I need to "declutter" anyway. The book's subject matter reminds me of Leo Babuata's  books likeZen Habits: Handbook For LifeorThe Power of Less: The Fine Art of Limiting Yourself to the Essential...in Business and in Lifealong with some other "decluttering" books I have read.The difference in this book is the focus. Most of the other books focused on listing how to "declutter" and move on, assuming that you know how to easily implement whatever they ask. This book takes the time to explain some common obstacles to decluttering as well as provide more detail on how to actually apply it. I particularly like how the author goes through each and every room with concrete details and ideas for implementation. The author covered some areas (like the garage, etc) that definitely need to be covered in "decluttering" books, but is rarely covered.Pros1. Author's expertise-The author really does a relatively good job of not only detailing how to implement decluttering practically, she also addresses some of the issues that can sabotage your newly gained "decluttering" habit.2. Focused content-Unlike some other "clean up your clutter" books, this book doesn't have fluff, material that you doesn't really add to the book. Every part of the book can be applied to every room in your house.Cons1. Limited applicability of content to other areas-The primary focus of this book is on clutter in the home. I enjoyed that the author focused on this because home is often where the most clutter is. I would have like to see more content on how to declutter in other areas and situations (like the office, online, etc.)This might be something that is covered in later books.In either case, this is  a good book, that really helps you deal with the "clutter" around your home, room by room. If you want to clear out some more space in your living space and your life, this book is worth a try.
