About It's All Too Much
All across this country people are drowning in their clutter. We are in the middle of a clutter epidemic that is causing stress and anxiety for individuals and families from Seattle to Sarasota and beyond. In "It's All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff" Peter challenges you to answer a very simple but scary question: Does the stuff you own contribute to the life you hope to live or is it really a hurdle that is getting in the way of your happiness? Peter helps you assess the state of your home without any sugar coating and will teach you how to confront and conquer the stuff that is holding you back. If you are one of the many who has suddenly realized that their stuff has way too much power over them, then this is the book for you!
Peter makes clear that if the things you own actually own you then it's time for a change. He shows that getting organized does not mean putting your clutter into stacked bins or hiding it away in neat little cabinets. Nor does it mean storing precious mementos in a closet. If you don't honor and respect the things you have, why are they in your home at all? Your home is the physical and emotional base for you and your family, and how it looks directly affects your emotional and psychological well-being. "It's All Too Much" shows that, contrary to popular belief, more is not necessarily better and that decluttering and organizing can lead to a richer, more exciting life.
By taking you through your house, room by room, Peter shows how to zero-in on the purpose of each space and how to ensure that what you have in that space brings happiness and peace rather than stress and anxiety. If you can't go to sleep at night without battling the piles of clothes and papers on your bed or if your family hasn't sat down at the kitchen table for a meal in weeks because of the stacks of magazines and mail that are in the way, then "It's All Too Much" is the book for you. Clutter has a way of sucking the life and joy out of any space and with this book Peter shows how you can fix your relationship with your belongings, clear out the clutter and stay organized once and for all.
The result of the innovative approach to organization in "It's All Too Much" is more space in your house and, more importantly, an overwhelming sense of well-being that accompanies a more comfortable and happier at home.
For some people letting go is the hardest part of any relationship. "It's All Too Much" teaches you to identify your priorities and empowers you to part with the possessions that may be weighing you down - emotionally, physically, socially or spiritually. Peter's proven room-by-room process gets down to the bare-bones of why we hang onto things and will help you to conquer your clutter once and for all so that your home becomes your haven once again. Here at last really is an easy plan for living a richer life with less stuff.
About Peter Walsh
If you're not familiar with me, I'm known as the decluttering and organization guy. I was born and raised in Australia in a tiny town 25 miles outside of Melbourne.
I'm one of seven kids - middle child, three brothers and three sisters. All of my siblings live in Australia. I'm now a dual citizen - Australian and American.
When I was sixteen I came to the United States as an exchange student - lived for a year in southeastern Utah and graduated high school there, in Moab. I loved it!
The idea of working with kids was always attractive to me so I went to college in Australia and graduated as a teacher and taught high school math, science and graphic art.
My background in education led me to work in drug abuse prevention and health promotion in Australia and then in developing health, education and training programs for schools and corporations.
1994 was a good year. That's when I came to the United States and launched a company that produced workplace training programs that helped employees with their interpersonal and communication skills.
All of these past experiences came together when my training experience and interest in organizational change in the workplace and in homes caught the attention of the producers of the hit TLC show 'Clean Sweep'. We ended up making more than 120 episodes and helped thousands of people get excited about decluttering and organizing their homes and their lives.
Helping people live rich and full lives without drowning in their stuff continues to be the focus of most of my work. I'm lucky to now be working on The Oprah Winfrey Show helping people declutter their homes, their heads, their hearts and their hips.
As well as my work on TV I've written a few best-selling books about clutter and organization. My first (and favorite) is "It's All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff". I'm now also designing some cool organizational products and hosting a national radio program. This all keeps me busy when I'm not travelling or helping people turn their clutter and chaos into calm.
I now live in Los Angeles with my long term partner. No pets. No plants. No clutter. |
