This was a great self help approach to decluttering internally and externally. I have a hard time “letting go” and I love the approach of evaluating “stuff” in our lives to see if it is worth the time and space. This was definitely a helpful book for me.
Many thanks to Morgan James Publishing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Conclusion

I have always had a problem with clutter – I just couldn’t get rid of things. This book helped me change my mindset and helped me to finally be able to let go of things. This is more of a self-help book than a decluttering book. If you or someone you know needs help with decluttering, this may be the book for you.

I was not aware this was going to have such a "spiritual" angle. Even though the author states that "God" can be anything you want it to be, I still couldn't get past that message. Just not what I thought it was going to be.
