Critics Review
I loved it; it’s original. A perfect way to trash your trash. – Ruby Wax
A thoughtful and surprisingly emotional account of our complex relationship with stuff. It’s a love letter to clarity and a recognition that when we make the decisions that create more physical space, we often create mental headspace and momentum in our lives too. If you don’t want your possessions to possess you, then this is a book you must read – Graham Allcott, author of HOW TO BE A PRODUCTIVITY NINJA
Tending to your home can also be a profound way of tending to your inner space. In THE SECRET LIFE OF CLUTTER, Helen Sanderson tells wonderful, moving, and inspiring stories of people whose blocked homes mirrored a blockage in their life. A beautiful read, filled with compassion and understanding, it helps guide you to parts of yourself that may be forgotten or buried under stuff, so you can bring your home and your life into harmony – Jamie Catto, author of INSANELY GIFTED
