The audible book was very good and ultimately I got many valuable take-aways -- My goal is to get at least one and this book provided many. The audible book deserves 4 stars because you need to listen and take notes and refer back to them in order to follow some of the information. In the book there are clutter blocks that are numbered and described (seven in total). After the initial description, these clutter blocks are almost entirely referred to by number.... for example, the author might refer to the garage and warn you against clutter blocks 3, 4 or 6. If I were reading, I'd flip back and see that these were the stuff I'm avoiding or stuff for my fantasy life or trapped with other people's stuff. With an audio book it is difficult to go back to that chapter. I listened to the descriptions multiple times but ultimately had to make a list and refer to it when listening. This isn't a practical strategy for listening in the car.Again, the information is worthwhile -- I believe the book (kindle or physical) is a better choice.Personally, I feel that clutter block 2 , my stuff tells me who I am is really 3 different clutter blocks. According to the description of this block, shopping is problem solving and connecting with people during the shopping and the author suggests volunteering as an alternative which is an answer for those who acquire things almost as a side to getting to talk to and be seen by the clerks. The problem solving aspect is not really addressed by this. I do shop to problem solve. Most of my purchases are on line and a fair amount of my clutter and my time are taken up with this block. Volunteering (which I already do plenty of) would not help. I don't need more connection. Instead, I realized I need to better define the problem I'm solving AND use my creativity to solve the problem with what I have on hand. Borrowing is an idea she suggests in clutter block 4 (my fantasy life) which is applicable.... the third way this clutter block could be interpreted is the idea of keeping clutter around because it says something about me (books mean I'm smart, etc). This is nitpicking and again, I got a lot out of the book.Get the book form and after you've read it, if you want to review, the audible book is well done (narrator does well).  Read Less

I am someone that always has clutter, whether on my desk or around the house. I figured this would just be another book on how to get the clutter under control with steps that I would try once and then forget to keep practicing. I was so wrong! The advice the author gives is simple to follow and stick to! I have been clutter free for a few weeks now!  Read Less
