Cindy Glovinsky

A psychological approach to clutter. I guess if I had a serious problem it would have been more interesting but mostly it was curious but not compelling.

I you or someone you know is overwhelmed with the "Things" in your life I recommend reading this book. Readers will gain an appreciation for the seriousness of this life issue. The author offers common sense approaches to dealing with the problem while at the same time never suggesting that it's easy to overcome. She makes up funny names for the people she sites as examples, such as: Professor Tightstring, Sandy Chaser, Eric Crampit, Louisa Braveheart, Miranda Grayshade and Judy Stackwright.

O.K., tjsjohanna, some of us do have a serious problem, and this is a great book with a different slant. Is not set out to tell you to throw all your carefully assembled collections, including books, away, and make you feel really, really guilty. I recommend.

MAKING PEACE WITH THE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE is an excellent book about *why* you have problems with housekeeping., what your problems really are. A good read suggestion if you think you are anywhere near being a hoarder. I really liked the psychological approach.
I have picked up her other book also, ONE THING AT A TIME.
