I really appreciated Robin Zasio's direct yet compassionate approach to hoarding. I have seen her on the TV series <i>Hoarders,</i> and admit it's one reason I chose her book. I also especially love the subtitle: How to live a happier, healthier, uncluttered life, something I would like to achieve. Zasio introduces hoarding as being on a spectrum, with many of us having some hoarding tendencies. Zasio encourages us to recognize areas in our life that we should deal with wherever we are on that spectrum. This is not a book focusing on organizing, but rather why we hoard and how to face our desire to hold onto things or to collect things. For me, her suggestions on how to deal with clutter resonate and make sense in a way that other books I've read on organization don't.
