A great resource for managing our material possessions. Broken into sections and supported by lists one can reference when needed.

A lot of stories - including the authors. Overall shares good principles, but not a detailed action plan.

Nothing groundbreaking compared to similar books, but it’s well-written and full of good info. This one is best for longer-term decluttering projects, especially when dealing with family heirlooms and other meaningful (but not necessarily useful) possessions.
The author is at his best when he’s discussing the emotional meaning of possessions and how to handle the emotions that decluttering brings. That part of the book is a solid five stars.
In terms of actual, practical advice, especially if you’re working on a shorter timeframe, there’s plenty of info but it’s not necessarily better than the basic stuff you’d find online with just a few Google searches.

Practical advice for wading through the emotions (read: guilt) that come with getting rid of family stuff. Would recommend to anyone who is moving an aging parent to a new facility, dealing with an estate, or wanting to start fresh.
