Editorial Review:

Product Description:
When you think of what it will take to clean your house, are you so overwhelmed you throw up your hands and cry, "It's all too much"? Do you dream of having a closet where your clothes aren't crammed in so tightly that you can actually get to them? Is your basement filled with boxes of precious family mementos you haven't opened in ten years but are too afraid to toss? Are your kitchen counters overrun with appliances you've never used? Do your kids play in the living room because there's no room left in their playroom? If somewhere along the way you've simply lost the ability to keep your home organized and clutter-free, then It's All Too Much has the solution you've been searching for.

Peter Walsh, the organizational guru from TLC's hit show Clean Sweep, understands how easy it is for clutter to creep into your life and how hard it is to get rid of it. In It's All Too Much, he shares his proven system for letting go of your emotional and physical clutter so that you can create a happier, more stress-free home and life. At last, here is a system for managing your clutter, regaining control, and living the life you imagine for yourself.

Peter has helped clients from every walk of life. With his trademark humor and insight, Peter guides you step-by-step through the very charged process of decluttering your home, organizing your possessions, and reclaiming your life. Going way beyond color-coded boxes and storage bin solutions, It's All Too Much shows you how to reexamine your priorities and let go of the things that are weighing you down. Clearly and simply, Peter gives you the courage you need to go through your home, room by room -- even possession by possession -- and honestly assess what adds to your quality of life and what's keeping you from living the life of your dreams.

Filled with real-life examples and advice for homes of all sizes and personalities, It's All Too Much will set you free from the emotional baggage that goes along with clutter and help you lead a fuller, richer life with less stuff.

Rating: - A Common Sense Kick in the Pants
Viewers of TLC's Clean Sweep already know Peter Walsh, but he brings his guidance to the masses in an accessible, sensible book.

Peter will take you by the hand and gently lead you through the process of de-cluttering your space and regaining your life.

If you are looking for tips for better organizing, you'll find some here. But it's not the heart of the book. Peter spends a lot of time on what many of us need, an emotional level reason to let go of our stuff and live a different way.

If you are starting the journey, I recommend this book and Clearing Your Clutter with Feng Shui by Karen Kingston. You/we ... Read More

Rating: - Great Book
The book has been a great help in me getting things in order around the house and in my life. I saw the author on Oprah and something about his approach clicked with me. He approaches clutter from a deeper, psychological aspect and tells how clutter is a reflection of and influencer of our mental/psychological states.

I'm not clutter-free yet, but I'm well on my way.

Rating: - It's all too much
This is a great book. I highly recommend it. I purchased it after a recent Oprah show on hoarding. Peter Walsh gets to the root of the problem of keeping too much and how to deal with it. It is helping me.
