Summary: A life-changing book
Comment: Fun to read, inspiring, practical--buy this book, read it, and live it. Walsh creates a vision of what your life could be like without all the clutter. After reading his book, I gave my house a long overdue decluttering. His book fired me up so quickly that I couldn't wait to get started. Highly recommended!

Summary: I wanted to take my time and savor the reading...
Comment: I can't think of a thing I did not like about this book! Okay, the parts about kids didn't apply to me, but it was still interesting to read about it. I never realized clutter had this much control over other parts of life. Since reading this book I am determined to make my home more clutter free. It helped me see a lot of areas I need to work on, and helped me rationalize throwing away things I never would have had the nerve to throw away before. It's also written in very readable language. I promised this book to a friend so I read it quickly, but I wish I could keep it longer and savor the reading!

Summary: Very Good Book!
Comment: It's All Too Much is a very good organizing book. Peter does a good job on giving the pratical tips on de-cluttering and organizing space. One of the best things about his book is he gets the reader to think about why they are disorganized and why they are continuing to purchase more stuff. He does not suggest buying more organizng bins, instead stop buying more stuff. He also does a good job on getting people to think about only bringing in things into your life that you use, enjoy, and love.

Summary: Life Changing
Comment: I saw Peter on the Oprah show and had the buy the book. It is worth every penny. I disagree with the reader who said this book is only for people with families. He explains how to cut down on clutter and make sure that everyone is involved in the decision making process. He has a chapter on the kid's room, but if you don't have kids, just don't read it. I'm married without children and found this book to be life changing. It is a great investment.

Summary: a must read!
Comment: This book is awesome. It's the first book ever that really made me understand that the collectibles gathering dust in my garage were not cherished items. I am now taking weekly loads of books to be sold, items (in good condition) to Goodwill. Maybe someone else will be able to cherish and use them. His book also opened my eyes to the idea that I have a limited amount of space (1300 sq. feet!) so I have to make careful choices about what I want to put in that space. For the first time in years we can now park both cars in the garage. Yay! This book was full of lightbulb moments.

Editorial Reviews:

When Peter Walsh, organizational guru of TLC's hit show Clean Sweep and a regular contributor to The Oprah Winfrey Show, appeared on national television shows and told people how they could reclaim their lives from the suffocating burden of their clutter, the response was overwhelming. People flooded Peter's website (www.peterwalshdesign.com) with success stories about how his book had changed their lives.

Peter's unique approach helped people everywhere learn to let go of the emotional and psychological clutter that was literally and figuratively choking the life out of their homes.

With his good humor and reassuring advice, Peter shows you how to face the really big question: What is the vision for the life you want to live? He then offers simple techniques and a step-by-step plan to assess the state of your home, prioritize your possessions, and let go of the clutter you have been holding on to that has kept you from living the life you imagine. The result is freed-up space, less stress, and more energy for living a happier, richer life every day.
