I feel that it's very difficult to get to the nuggets of wisdom about cleaning in this book. They are there, but you have to dig through all the touchy-feely stuff about feeling good about yourself and unsolicited advice on how to make sure you'll be okay in an emergency. Feeling good about yourself does have its place, but I'd rather go to a psychologist with research to back them up to find that information, and just get cleaning tips from the cleaning book. Right?
I felt like the book was written for people who had a very similar life experience to the author's because a lot of the advice was very specific. If you read the book, you'll know what I'm talking about.
I do like the emphasis the author puts on accountability. She states several times that the only person you can change is YOU, do don't get mad at your family members for not cleaning the way you'd like them to.
If you want just the good stuff, I'd suggest looking at her daily routine list at the end of chapter 5, read ch 7 - 8, skim through ch 9, read chapter 11 and ch 12 if you have problems with keeping up with laundry. Chapter 13 is about clutter, but I'd suggest reading[b:The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing|22318578|The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing|Marie KondÅ|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1418767178s/22318578.jpg|41711738] by Marie Kondo. She has a much better and clearer perspective on clutter.
