Making Peace with the Things in Your Life Book Review

Making Peace with the Things in Your Life: Why Your Papers, Books, Clothes, and Other Possessions Keep Overwhelming You and What to Do About It by Cindy Glovinsky was the author's first book.  Since I read the second one already, I reserved the first one at the library determined to read the series.

The best thing that I can say is that I am glad that I read the second book first because I never would have been able to read this book otherwise.  Keep in mind that I was a Psychology and Sociology major in college when you read this post.  It was like reading a text book that I didn't agree with and having no one to discuss it with.  I found it to be the strangest book with very little about cleaning up things.  It was mostly about the psychology behind why you do the things that you do.  I am sure that this is very true that there are reasons for everything that we do but to get all of the knowledge through a book to apply to every person is just impossible.  I couldn't relate to the book and I didn't find it helpful. 

Please let me know if you have read it and feel differently.  Maybe you can help change my mind!!  I wouldn't recommend picking this up at your library or bookstore but more likely to recommend leaving it on the shelf.  I don't think that I have ever said that when reviewing a book because I usually find a redeeming quality but I don't think that there was much in this book except it was good to read before bed because it helped me fall asleep!!
