This is a great book! Sandra has a lot of books...but this one goes into the "why" of clutter and talks about how to change the mindset. It always helps me to know "why", so I found this book really helpful and am re-reading it at present. Recommended!
I do, in fact, own alot of these books that I have posted about, and one might suggest that I am hoarding these as well. But, I have read them and I reference them again from time to time when I need some "talking to". So, I look on these books differently. They are more like my own personal "therapists" that I can refer to whenever I want.
I have them in two places: the ones that I feel comfortable having out on a shelf are in a spare room. The ones that are about hoarding and shopping addiction...they are hidden in a credenza. But, they are accessable.
