THE HOARDER IN YOU

How to Live a Happier, Healthier, Uncluttered Life

We all have treasured possessions—a favorite pair of shoes, a much-beloved chair, an ever-expanding record collection. But sometimes, this emotional attachment to our belongings can spiral out of control and culminate into a condition called compulsive hoarding. The Hoarder In You provides practical advice for decluttering and organizing, including how to tame the emotional pull of acquiring additional things, make order out of chaos by getting a handle on clutter, and create an organizational system that reduces stress and anxiety.

THE HOARDER IN YOU is written for people whose material possessions occasionally or regularly get in the way of living easily and happily. It is a prescriptive book that will help readers simplify their lives so that they are not overwhelmed by material things and will help them recognize any hoarding tendencies in themselves and those close to them. The book will reveal the mechanisms that drive compulsive hoarding in a way that will allow readers to glean helpful information that can apply to everyone, no matter where they fall on the continuum.
