Throw Out Fifty Things is truly an eye-opener. According to Blanke, Our lives are so filled with junk from the past-from dries up tubes of crazy glue to old grudges that it's a wonder we can get up in the morning, never mind to work, care for our children, our parents and just put one foot in front of the other. Blanke wants to start a movement of people across America throwing out fifty things (magazines count as only one!) that will help liberate us form the stuff both physical and mental that clutters our lives. It's is the physical stuff that keeps us from being happy and calm in our house-not to mention keeps us from finding our keys in the morning! And it is the clutter in our mind that drags us down and holds us back from living the life we want to live. Blanke takes the reader through each room in the house and helps them figure out what to throw out that will help them move forward. She'll show us how to find and throw out possessions that remind us of failed relationships, bad jobs, etc, and she'll help us figure out what to keep to help us find out who we really are.

About the Author

Gail Blanke is the life coach for Real Simple magazine and writes a monthly column. She is the author of two previous books, In My Wildest Dreams and Between Trapezes.

From Publishers Weekly

Blanke (Between Trapezes), a motivational speaker and former columnist for Real Simple, shovels aside detritus to make space for cleaner rooms and clearer minds. She challenges readers to follow her example in discarding 50 things; tossed items range from old clothes to the need to be right. The authors suggestions range from the humble (Have a swap party for your outgrown clothes) to the ambitious (Clarify who you are), and her scope and environmentally conscious mind-set make the book a rousing call to total transformation—one mismatched sock at a time.
