Lose the Clutter, Lose the Weight

The Six-Week Total-Llife Slim Down

By: Peter Walsh

Narrated by: Shaun Grindell

A houseful of clutter may not be the only reason people pack on extra pounds, but research proves that it plays a big role. A recent study showed that people with super-cluttered homes were 77 percent more likely to be overweight or obese!

In Lose the Clutter, Lose the Weight, organizing guru Peter Walsh comes to the rescue with a simple six-week plan to help listeners:

• Clear their homes of excess stuff as they discover their visions for their personal spaces
• Clear their bodies of excess pounds as they follow a healthy, super-simple eating and exercise plan
• Clear their minds and spirits of the excess weight of too many possessions

Rodale took the program for a test drive with two dozen volunteers who followed his plan. All reported great results - from significant weight loss to calmer minds and more organized, happier, and more efficient lives.

Helpful book

What did you like best about Lose the Clutter, Lose the Weight? What did you like least?

I liked the way the book made me think about new items I would bring into the house (and items I'd bring into my body). It also made me feel less guilty to get rid of gifts, "the gift is NOT your aunt." What I liked the least was the idea to do workouts with the stuff I'm getting rid of. I guess that would be a good idea for some people, but it just isn't for me.

What aspect of Shaun Grindell’s performance would you have changed?

Another review mentioned that he overemphasized certain words. This was cured by listening to the book at 1.25 speed. It was much more enjoyable!

56 year old inspired

Very inspiring my whole life everything in its place has been my goal then I stand there overwhelmed and give up . I am once again attempting to tackle this hot mess but I have new tools gifts from this book the why , the how, the way to get one space at a time done and maintain it that way space by space step by step . I am not a stupid person by no means but this has always eluded me this book made the light bulb click on . I will keep Peter updated on my success.

Bummed it’s not the author narrating

I ordered this right after “It’s All Too Much” and regardless of the speed I’m playing it at I cant follow the narrator’s cadence. Very upsetting because I know the message is good. Plus the author is so entertaining I wanted to hear him come through with his message.

Helpful

I liked the way it gave you permission to let things go. I would suggest changing the reading speed to 1.2x to make it more enjoyable.

Impactful

This book changed my perspective on my home and how we as a family do life. The decluttering process although difficult at times was freeing and became easier as the weeks carried on. I am so happy I picked up this book and have recommended it to many friends and loved ones.
