It was suggested as a companion read to Marie Kondo and the Swedish Death Cleaning books but it struck me as increasing thing management, not decreasing. I read it and realized it would feed perfectionism...there is a right/wrong way to do nearly everything. One could clean all day and still not be done. Not exactly what I am after. But if you want to live like a monk, this has all the rules and tools you need. Of course, you'll have to quit your job and work all day on cleaning every last thing you own. Good luck!

What sort of life do you wish to lead?”
