About this listen

Piles of junk in garages and closets, overflowing papers on desks, items unused for years, masses of unanswered email, clothing never worn, useless gifts that collect dust; all these things, says Brooks Palmer, come weighted with shame and guilt and have a suffocating effect on spirit and soul. In this insightful book, Palmer shows how to get rid of the things in our lives that no longer serve us. By tossing out these unneeded items, we are also eliminating their negative influences, freeing up energy, and unlocking our potential.

Loaded with inspiring anecdotes and practical tips, Clutter Busting is based on the premise that your things are not sacred, but you are. The book explores such fundamental topics as the false identities we assume through clutter, the fear of change those junk piles represent, the addictive nature of holding on to objects, how clearing clutter makes room for clarity and sweeps away confusion and stasis, and much more. With Brooks's upbeat and compassionate guidance, you'll find yourself clearing the way for new and exciting things to come into your life.

Life changing

Great book. I recommend everyone to read it. What he says is true! After hearing the first couple of chapters whilst driving, I got home and went straight to it. Feeling freer after clearing just half a room. Will continue to declutter as doing one room at a time!! Definitely life changing.

What an amazing book!!

I loved the content of the book and the author's delivery and voice. The audio is so good it's the first review I write since listening to audiobooks for more than 6 years. I loved Marie Kondo for being so passionate about helping people but for me "think of your ideal lifestyle" wasn't enough. Here, you'll find plenty of exercises to help you figure out what needs to go, what you truly want and plenty of ah-ha moments of how and why you ended up surrounded by clutter. The stories of the author's clients are very poignant and all of them very relatable. Thank you so much! I'm very grateful. And thank you to Audible for providing this opportunity.

Making a Start

Great book, not just for the "hoarder" themselves, but for loved ones to read/listen to if they would like to help and to understand the disorder.

Great book, but...

This is an excellent book and I recommend it. My only problem with it may or may not bother you. The author has the most monotonous, flat voice I've ever heard in my life. At the end, he mentioned he's been a stand up comic for 20 years or something, I was flabbergasted! I have heard comics who speak that way, but it's hard to listen to someone who narrates that way.

Great insight into how we get stuck with clutter

Contrary to other listeners, I found the narrator to be fine and very well paced - that is, slow enough for me to actually absorb the the authors insights, which are very helpful. I have a dozen books on uncluttering and am someone that has been wanting to declutter for 16 years, yet somehow unable to get on with it. Even though I yearn for clean, clear spaces .... the sheer scale of the task is daunting. This book is useful for people that find it hard to ‘let go’.

Great feel good stories for the hoarder in me

Some great tips in here. Mostly common sense, but if we knew how to use common sense, our homes wouldn't be filled with crap we don't need, right? This book has given me hope that I can get on top of my clutter and move forward
