This is much more than an "organizing" book. It is written for clutterers by a reformed clutterer who understands why it is so hard to let go of the things that clog our lives. This is the only book that addresses cluttering as a psychological, spiritual and physical blockage in our lives.
Ann W. Richards, former Governor of Texas -- "I use the excuse to clutter that I was born in the depression years. 'Waste not want not.' 'Wear it, turn it over and wear it out.' 'Save this, it will be worth something someday.' These parental sayings were drilled into us as children. We've all heard of the clutterer with a box labeled 'PIECES OF STRING TOO SHORT TO USE.' Our lives and our dwelling places have become so full of stuff that it restricts our freedom. I do not want to be weighed down or slowed down by owning things. This book will show you the way to unburden your life."
Lucia Capacchione, Ph.D., art therapist and best-selling author of "The Power of Your Other Hand" and "Visioning: Ten Steps to Designing the Live of Your Dreams." -- "There are many books about getting organized but this one takes you light-years ahead. It goes to the core of the problem, psychological and spiritual clutter. People with home offices will especially benefit from this book. Based on the premise 'as within, so without,' Mike Nelson guides you through practical steps to examine why you endure clutter and what you can do to clear your mind and your life. Clutter represents the past that we are not willing to let go of. In order to move forward and realize our true creative self, we need to clear our inner and outer space to make room for the future. This book shows you how with practical examples and humor."
Rev Dr. Christian Sorensen, President Untied Church of Religious Science, Seaside Church, Encinitas, CA. -- "This book is a tool for cleaning our lives and houses so that we can free ourselves from the bondage of old 'stuff' -- spiritual and physical -- and make room for all our greater good and prosperity to flow in and enrich our lives. Mr. Nelson shows us how our limited thinking can limit our lives and how we can change that."
K.J. McCorry, Public Relations Chairperson, National Association of Professional Organizers -- "This book really addresses the bigger issue of clutters and how there is hope for everyone! With Mike's practical advice and step by step process through every room in the house, I think any clutterer can reform. I hope not only people who are clutters but loved ones who know clutters read this book. Everyone needs support through this process."
Joe King Carrasco, Tex-Mex rock and roll star -- "Man, if reading this book could motivate a guy with 27 refrigerators in his yard to do something about them, it can motivate anyone! My band thinks this book is the coolest thing since we jammed with Bob Marley's band the Wailers. I've dug "Mexico" Mike's writing for fifteen years. His humorous story-telling style that made his guidebooks so much fun will help us clutterers rock on to a better life. Rock on, Mike."
Samantha, a recovering clutterer -- "Let this book be an opportunity for you to explore how cluttering relates to multitudes of people. You are not alone. We have all suffered losses, shame and embarrassment. This book is a great motivator."
