Clutter's Last Stand: It's Time To De-junk Your Life!

The book arrived quickly, ahead of schedule, and is in good condition.

Don Aslett, a cleaning expert who built a housekeeping service empire, doesn't soften the blow about decluttering. He openly mocks consumerism, doesn't look at neurological or psychological foundations for cluttering behaviors, and puts the responsibility for cluttering squarely on the clutterer's shoulders, no excuse-making allowed. So he is going to make some people ANGRY. He is going to hurt other people's feelings. Many people will NOT find him funny (I did, but I have a broad-ranging sense of humor. I enjoy everything from desert-dry British wit to 13 clowns in a tiny car).That may be exactly why everyone should read Clutter's Last Stand. Mr. Anslett does require honesty from his readers. Honesty is an extremely valuable tool for someone who is decluttering. Those who enjoy his humor will have that benefit; those who get angry will have that incentive; those who get hurt will have the starting-point of interpreting why, and can look at how to let go of that hurt to move ahead. And everyone will get some practical advice on the how-to's of releasing items from their possession.Lauren Williams, Certified Professional Organizer(R), Owner, Casual Uncluttering LLC, Woodinville, WA, USA

Thank you Don Aslett for guiding me to the Light at the End of the Tunnel! I had been sick,,,and "stuff" just grew and grew.... I didn't know where to start,,,it just got overwhelming. So we walked around and over the piles of 'whatever'. I needed help! This book gets you going,,,,defines Types of Clutter (!)... and gives me hope! You just can't go wrong with Don Aslett's book,,,,,and I am using this one until my rooms are clear and I am not embarrassed to have people stop by!

I'm telling you this book freed me of cluttering my life. I was already working on it and have read several other books about this. But I consider this book a real life practical instruction book , full of wise info, anecdotes and examples.Finally I found an amazingly useful book that really told me HOW to de clutter step by step. And I finally get it!!!! Now I fell I can get a grasp on keeping up with all the paper and junk that comes in. In many parts of the book I felt the author was talking just to me and knew everything about me!! I have had my own yard sale, brought"stuff" to a friend's yard sale and given/donated 2 hatchback car loads of stuff in the past 30 days! This book is the best!

This is Don Alett's most highly rated book, and I totally agree. The others are great to read, as an ADD scattered reader, I skip around and the later books add a lot, keep me motivated, and entertained. This first book is the basic starter. I've read so many deeply psychological books about why I clutter, what it means, etc., etc., and reading this was like a breath of fresh air, respectful of the reasons why, but focusing on getting the clutter gone. I've made notes of the high points, in the front of the book (and I rarely ever write in a book) so I can quickly get back to the important points that really spoke to me. Great book. It's keeping me going this time, like no other method or author has.

Can you teach an old dog new tricks? What if the "old dog" is actually a 57 yr old woman? I NEVER thought I could change, yet hope within led me to continue buying books on the subject of clutter. Then came this book, and by page 4, I became a new person. This author changed everything. What I previously had to force myself to do, I now cannot stop from doing!!! It is now so easy! I just can't believe the transforming power of this wonderful book! I've already purchased a dozen copies for friends, and I am receiving the very same feedback from them. I'd love to hear the author speak to our staff. So many people have clutter issues. They won't after reading this book.

Reading Francine Jay (a Minimalist and inspiring) and Virginia Barkley (promotes possibilities and peace of mind) launched me into the process of clearing/uncluttering/de-junking my home. I could see my life history in clothes in the closets alone.A friend, a fellow victim of her own Stuff, recommended this book when I "stalled" for a few months. My first book by Don Aslett and I won't need another. HIs sense of humor and perspectives revived my "process". He deals with every type of clutter, including the freezer...and the art of prevention.I'm smiling, creating more wide open spaces, and barely flinching at escorting former loves to the donation center.

my the clutter bible , I read it ones a year , and throw away anything that does not suit. It is the best book there is . This is my fourth copy , I keep giving them away , to friends who have busy lives kids and clutter problems. It is the best gift. They read it at night , and during the weekend , they start working on their house. The change is amazing. I love this author .

a revamped edition of the original, not as good. i would recommend the original 'clutter free - finally and forever' for anyone who really wants to dejunk.

Always like his books. Good and practical advice given with a sense of humour. Made me want to de-clutter the house.

I met plenty Americans who raved this book but here in uk hard to relate to much of info

great writer, excellent instructions

Haven't read it yet but have read Don Aslett's first book and loved that one so hope this one is good. Ironic that more books create 'clutter' but the rest of the house is looking good!
