review 1: Motivating, life changing, purposeful and progressive, Peter Walsh gets it when it comes to implementing the "less is more" life. This book is timeless advice for moving forward. Have you ever wondered how to begin a major project but were overwhelmed by too much stuff in that place? Or have you ever moved and been caught up in the chaos of it instead of knowing exactly what you want to keep and what you need to let go of?If so, dive in to this good read for staying on track. You will feel its effects for years to come.
review 2: You know how ticking travel clocks are supposed to help calm puppies by reminding them of their mother's heartbeat? That how I feel about self-help books like "Lighten Up", they are a calming reminder of where I've been. And sometimes ... morethere are a few useful ideas to learn as well. This was similar to the corpus of books on being happier by appreciating what you have (including great opportunities!) that are on the market, which I would call the "happy collection" since most of these books have a form of "happy" in their titles. Walsh approaches happiness with a big dollop of clutter-busting, but he's known for that already - similar stories are in his other books. One nugget I picked up was the mental trick of finding the cost of your clutter by using the square foot value of your house. I listened to this on audio with John Lee's calming Irish-tinged narration. I'd consider this an OK on Goodreads scale. less
