It's All Too Much

My Comments:
I see how people's possessions prevent them from traveling or moving because they have to worry about what to do with all their stuff and it's just unfortunate that people allow their stuff to restrict their lives. People say they want to move to another state or country, but they never do and their excuse is because they have all their possessions to worry about or that they can't get rid of it easily. What a cage of stuff they've built for themselves!

Then there's the issue of financial liability. There are people with a long list of continuous maintenance fees for the stuff they own like multiple cars, multiple phones, unnecessary gadgets, clothes, toys, etc. I see the financial stress it causes them and wonder why they let their things own them. It's almost like they're a financial slave to their things working hard just for those things.

Book Description:

Are your counters covered with appliances you had to have but rarely use? Are your cupboards stuffed with clothes that you hope to fit back into or that you paid a fortune for but only wore once? Have you been hanging on to that hideous teapot your mother gave you 10 years ago only because she gave it to you? Every time you go shopping do you come back with bags of more stuff because that pillow/blouse/CD/mixer will be the one thing that changes your life and then it doesn't change your life because you have nowhere to put it?
In It's All Too Much, organisational guru Peter Walsh challenges you to answer a very simple but scary question: Does the stuff you own contribute to the life you hope to achieve or does it get in the way of your vision? [...] [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. [...] It's All Too Much shows you how to reexamine your priorities and let go of the things that are weighing you down. [...] Peter gives you the courage you need to go through your home, [...] and honestly assess what adds to your quality of life and what's keeping you from living the life of your dreams. [...] 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.
