Sorting through a lifetime's worth of accumulated possessions can be a daunting and stressful process that millions of Americans confront every year. The need to downsize often arises at a momentous life change, whether you're an empty nester or retiree selling your family home, a newlywed blending your households, or you're cleaning out your parents' property after they've moved into assisted living or passed away.
Decluttering guru Peter Walsh knows the difficulty of downsizing firsthand. Along with six of his siblings, he went through the process of downsizing his family home and dividing his late parents' possessions. He realized that making these decisions about mementos and heirlooms creates strong emotions and sometimes sibling rivalries. After this experience, he downsized his own home. Peter doesn't see downsizing as a difficult chore—rather, it's a freeing, rejuvenating process. Now, in Let It Go, you'll access Peter's many tips and practical takeaways, such as how to:
  • Understand the emotional challenges that accompany downsizing

  • Create strategies for working with your spouse, adult kids, or siblings without drama

  • Identify the objects that will bring you real happiness

        Narrator Gary Furlong's gentle Irish accent guides listeners through the process of downsizing their possessions--whether it's due to moving, a desired change in lifestyle, or having to clear out another person's belongings when that person is unable to do so. In steering listeners through all the common-sense considerations, such as making decisions, dividing belongings, and estimating what will fit in a new home, Furlong adopts a measured, mellow tone. A word of caution to listeners: Some parts of the book do not transition well to the audio format--for example, questionnaires, checklists, and instructions to jump to certain sections, based on the listener's individual situation. But Furlong's style of narration provides calming reassurance with respect to a process that is emotionally fraught for many people. S.E.G. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
