Average Customer Ratings:
When Peter Walsh, organizational guru of TLC's hit show Clean Sweep and a regular contributor to The Oprah Winfrey Show, appeared on national television shows and told people how they could reclaim their lives from the suffocating burden of their clutter, the response was overwhelming. People flooded Peter's website (www.peterwalshdesign.com) with success stories about how his book had changed their lives.
Peter's unique approach helped people everywhere learn to let go of the emotional and psychological clutter that was literally and figuratively choking the life out of their homes.
With his good humor and reassuring advice, Peter shows you how to face the really big question: What is the vision for the life you want to live? He then offers simple techniques and a step-by-step plan to assess the state of your home, prioritize your possessions, and let go of the clutter you have been holding on to that has kept you from living the life you imagine. The result is freed-up space, less stress, and more energy for living a happier, richer life every day.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Terrific Book! Quick Read! -
I'm purging all my belongings and paring it down to what supports the life I want. Peter Walsh does a great job of motivating the reader and giving specific steps to reach your clutter-free goals. I recommend it.

Real help for "consumers" -
Peter Walsh has written a wonderful guide to help one decide what's really important, and not just materially. Whether you just have trouble deciding what's important to keep, or you have a real problem with keeping everything (to the point of hoarding), I think he has very helpful advice that I will refer to again and again. In fact, I ordered two more copies to give to friends are space-challenged. We consume entirely too much in this country, resulting in financial hardship and overstuffed homes. I can't recommend this highly enough.
Great Help To Clutter Busting - 
I truly think Peter knows what he is doing in the art of whipping us into shape. So much of the book hits home and his advice is right on target. Some of the advice for rooms is repetitive but some people probably need that. Use what you need and skip the sections you don't but definitely read the book if you need some help with clutter. AA++
Motivational Book On De-Cluttering and Living a Less Stressful Life -
After reading and enjoying "Enough Already!" by Peter Walsh, I purchased his earlier book, "It's All Too Much." I enjoyed this one too. The book's subtitle is "An Easy Plan For Living A Richer Life With Less Stuff" and I found that to be just what this book was.
I think one of the most important lines of the book comes near the end when Walsh writes, "Getting organized for the sake of getting organized is a waste of time. Getting organized because it helps you live a richer, less stressed, happier, and more focused life, now that's a goal worth pursuing."
Walsh presents practical advice on getting rid of stuff, but also encouraging words to live a life that fulfills you and not one that is burdensome and stressful due to having too much. Walsh instructs you to think about the life you really want, including the home that will enrich your life and be a pace to live, not just store things.
The beginning chapters in part one, The Clutter Problem, provide a starting place to analyze your home to determine if you are a clutter junkie, and what excuses you have been using to not get organized and take control of your stuff. Then Walsh has you imagine the life you want to live and determine what your ideal home would be. Once you have laid this basic groundwork and are motivated to do something about your clutter, you progress to part two of the book, Putting Clutter in Its Place.
The first step of part two is the kick start. Walsh helps you tackle the surface clutter and get started with your de-junking with a quick and dirty sweep of your clutter. He offers practical advice and suggestions to week through things that may be bogging your home and life down. He combines this with motivating words to help you get started and stick to it. He then instructs you on making a chart of all the rooms and areas, or zones, of your home to design a plan to systematically de-clutter and organize you entire living quarters.
Walsh then includes specific chapters on various rooms such as: Master Bedroom, Kids' Rooms, Family and Living Rooms, Home Office, Kitchen, Dining Room, Bathroom, and finally the Garage, Basement, and Other Storerooms. Each of these chapters include suggestions and tips to help you maximize your space and become more organized and less stressed over stuff.
The final steps and concluding chapters provide strategies on Maintenance, a Cleanup Checkup, and New Rituals to keep your home de-cluttered, stress free, and a place to enjoy living.
The material in this book is not earth shattering or completely new. You can find some of the same suggestions and similar strategies in other organization books. However, Walsh presents the information in a casual motivating style that is enjoyable to read. I put Peter Walsh up there with my all time favorite De-junking and Cleaning Expert, Don Aslett.
I've never been as cluttered as some of the people that Aslett and Walsh write about, but maybe that is because I periodically read books on de-cluttering and organization to help keep me on the path. I'll admit, my biggest weakness is paper clutter than sometimes accumulates too much, and then I have to take the time to sort and get rid of stuff. Each time I read a book such as this, it not only helps me help others, but I also become a bit better at staying organized myself. The motivational shot works.
If clutter and stuff are a problem, I highly recommend "It's All Too Much: An Easy Plan For Living A Richer Life With Less Stuff" by Peter Walsh. It is easy to read, motivating, and full of practical solutions to clutter and stuff so that you can enjoy life more, and that is really what life is all about anyway. Isn't it?
