Hoarding

As a Professional Organizer that works with hoarders I find this book a useful tool to help family and friends get a better insight into the mind of a hoarder. Organizers will also find this book very useful. I would also have any person interested in helping someone get started in decluttering his or her home read this book. The authors have plans in this book that are both useful and insightful to help in the decluttering process. This book is short to read but long on knowledge and facts. Everyone that reads this book will have a better idea on what hoarding is and how to get beyond it.

Excellent Book to give to Hoarders

This is a very respectful book and can help a hoarder come to terms with his or her problem. It explains why people hoard and how they can begin to do something about it.

Tired of piles? This book can help

This book has examples and advice for people with serious hoarding problems but the advice and exercises are helpful for those with more mild cluttering problems. Both my wife and I read the book and found ourselves energized to clear our space. It covers some of the reasons to be motivated to clear your space and some of the not so obvious roadblocks that get in your way. For example, are you a perfectionist about where everything should be and how it should be disposed? This can cause you to end up with piles to go to right places but too tired or busy to get them there.
