A good practical book that will definitely inspire you to tackle all that clutter and add a new sense of meaning to your life. I preferred the first part of the book more, as some parts were quite specific to the US market. I liked all the case studies and enjoyed the way the book was written. The process offered is similar to many other books on the subject but the authors enthusiasm adds a new dimension.

I like how the book goes through the different areas of a house. A helpful book on an important subject.

Joshua Becker has written the newest book that will encourage Americans to have less stuff.  Joshua encourages us to realize that having less stuff will allow us more time to pursue other interests, as we won't spend the time cleaning and organizing the things AND we will easily be able to find those items we really need.  What I liked most about this book was that he encourages you to get the whole family involved and talk about what to get rid of and why it's important.  His advice on talking about it as a family was very helpful and his method of looking at stuff as Benefit or Burden was insightful.  

The Minimalist Home sets up a plan to tackle your home room by room or space by space.  There are checklists and action plans for each room that I found really helpful. 

After having done the 40 Bags in 40 Days and reading about the Kon Marie method, I thought I had decluttered, but this book actually made me take a closer look, which I greatly appreciate and I feel much lighter as I scheduled a pickup of goods I will donate.
