This book is an excellent alternative to guilt inducing minimalism . Lisa gently coaxes you though a process which allows you to start to reduce chaos, stop clutter accumulating and really appreciate the things you love (even if others might think they were clutter!)

Again, another highly recommend offering from Lisa Cole at Less Stuff. I have been following Lisa for sometime. I am an awful clutter addict and would be caught in a endess splurge then purge cycle. Lisa’s approach is gentle and helps to think about what we bring into our homes and when to gently release it.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by your stuff but Lisa shows that it’s ok to have stuff: we don’t all have to be minimalists. There us so much useful information in the book but you don’t feel swamped by it. You can just dip in or follow all of it, whichever suits you.
