Books on Organizing:

There are lots of good books about where to put your stuff and calm the clutter, but few have the depth, insight and gentle understanding that Peter Walsh’s books do. You may have seen him on Oprah or TLCs Clean Sweep—seems like he’s everywhere these days. His sage advice and insights are in alignment with the philosophy and working order we promote at Room for Life.

Room for Life recommends these books by Peter Walsh:

	It’s All Too Much: Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff This is by far my favorite book about organizing. Peter has made the intrinsic connection between our physical stuff and our emotional stuff, and understands what our stuff does to our lives. If you only read one book, this is it! "The things you buy, the items you value, the possessions you hoard are all a reflection of you, your life, your relationships, your career, and your aspirations. You are not your stuff, but believe me, your stuff reveals a great deal about who you are."
	How to Organize Just About Everything This is the operating manual for organizing. Just the facts, ideas and solutions for organizing everything from closets to weddings.
	Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat Coming soon. You can pre-order here...

	How to Conquer Clutter by Stephanie Culp Stephanie has a light-hearted and straightforward approach to conquering clutter.

Life or Debt: A One Week Plan for a Lifetime of Financial Freedom by Stacey Johnson Much like my approach to organization, Stacy’s main idea is to spend your money on what matters most to you. He has a great plan to eliminate your debt and countless ideas to save money, but also encourages people to utilize their money to create the life they truly desire. His approach isn’t about deprivation, but about better allocation.
