review 1: I really liked this book. It just came at the right time to give me a boost to get started on decluttering! I got as far as the closet, but I won't forget that feeling anytime soon which will push me to continue the process. The "stuff" later in the book was a little more vague - saying what to do but not really HOW to do it. However, sometimes we just need the words to say maybe we shouldn't worry about some of this stuff that, in the end, really doesn't matter.
review 2: *sigh* I've been having horrible luck picking nonfiction books from the library lately.There's a few good points about decluttering physical spaces / items. Reiterating the importance of prioritization, identifying what is really important / necessary & making the most of what you have ... more/ acquire.In a lot of areas, I think this drive to get rid of stuff (physical / emotional / etc.) can be carried too far. It was a fast read & parts were okay - but (again I return to this complaint in yet another book) much of the interesting things were given only cursory examination. Also, while the back cover mentioned the author's faith - I found the pushing of mainstream Christianity to be off putting and may alienate non-believers by taking such a central place in an otherwise non-faith dependent ideal to simplify. less
