This is a very helpful book for anyone who would like to un-clutter their life, both the physical and mental side. First, the author helps you think about the things in your life and prepares you to want to eliminate some of that are extraneous. Then he gives you lots of routes to accomplish it. Depending on your personality, some may appeal to you and some may not.I've been struggling to de-clutter for months, and this really got me started. Plus, it was actually fun. I used a combination of the "fast clean out," "invite someone over," the "six month box," and "trusted adviser." I did a fast clean out, invited some neighbors over, and we drank wine and talked about un-cluttering. I had the things out, plus a box I've been accumulating for months. In fact, I couldn't even remember exactly what was in it. They looked through everything, and took over half of it. Plus, I arranged online for a pickup by Goodwill of the rest.It's a huge boost to have extra space available, and I'm already planning to start on another route, "duplicates."  It's amazing how quick and easy it was.There is also a nice section on mental un-cluttering, again with many suggestions on how to proceed. This book is a fast read, will inspire you, and is worth getting.
