Piles of junk in garages and closets, overflowing papers on desks and in files, items unused for years, clothing never worn, useless gifts that collect dust - all these things, says Brooks Palmer, come weighted with shame and guilt, and have a suffocating effect on spirit and soul. In Clutter Busting, Palmer shows how to get rid of the objects that crowd our lives along with the many negative effects they bring. Written in a lively style and punctuated throughout with inspiring anecdotes and practical tips, Clutter Busting is based on the premise stated in the title of the first chapter: "You Are Sacred, Not Your Things." Chapters explore the addictive nature of holding onto objects; how clearing cutter makes room for clarity; sweeping away the mental clutter that creates confusion and stasis; and much more.
