As a daughter helping a parent downsize living quarters, I have been hearing the siren call from beloved items from my childhood home. Serendipity brought this book my way! Psychologist Robin Zasio handles the challenges from both extreme hoarders, who have homes that are unsafe, to those who have piles of clutter that are hard to get under control.
There are lots of helpful charts throughout the book, and lots of hand-holding, helping us try to figure out why it's so hard to pass up a great deal. Zasio's refrain is to look for the greater good: Holding onto something that we think has value, but which doesn't have a "home" in our home, may actually cause us more stress than not accepting it into our home at all. I found this book helpful.
