If you saw my house you would not consider me a hoarder, but as I read this book I could see hoarding tendencies in certain areas of my life. It helped me to consider why I was holding on to certain things.
I thought this was very helpful in knowing what to do, and especially what not to do when helping someone to declutter. It would be great for a spouse, relative or friend or a person who holds on to clutter, to see the emotional decisions that are involved in getting rid of, what to them, may seem like junk, and why it can take an hour to go through one box.

As a Hoarders junkie and a Matt Paxton fan, I enjoyed the book. It was truly the show in book form complete with follow up. I enjoyed this quick, light read.

This was interesting but kind of got boring for me...now this could be because I'm a faithful viewer of the show and have learned most of what he discusses from there...not sure. All I know is I went gung-ho into reading this one as soon as I bought it and it just fizzled out for me. Matt is a true pro in what he does and really cares about the people he works with and I give him a huge thumbs up for that!
