review 1: I don't have cable so I haven't been able to watch more than an episode or two of the show Hoarders. This author says she is involved with that show. I'm a bit of a neat freak but have my own trouble areas such as the basement/garage. The idea of decluttering and organizing my life interested me so this book has been on my to-read list for a little while. This book tells us that we all have hoarding or cluttering tendencies and I could see that as she explained specific tendencies and illustrated it with examples from people she helped in her practice. Nevertheless, it seems to be more of a self-help book for people who could qualify for the show (people with piles of dog poop on top of stacks of newspapers) and not for those of us who want to get more organized. I lik... moreed it and did feel introspective and inspired but might have benefited from a book more relevant to where I'm at in my home organization.
review 2: This was a fascinating read, and one that I will recommend. It's written by one of the psychologists on that "Hoarders" show, and it's written in a very engaging way. There are lots of real life examples of her clients that she shares that give you a peek into a home that is definitely messier than yours. At the same time, she validly points out that clutter is on a continuum, so the tips that can help such people can also help you. The book did get pretty repetitive after a while, but overall a good read. less
