    About this audiobook

    In his previous bestselling books, Peter Walsh helped audiences successfully get rid of the clutter in their homes, on their bodies, and in the six key emotional and spiritual areas of their lives. Now, in Lighten Up, Walsh explores what happens when the clutter is finally gone and shows listeners how to let go of wanting more and learn to live a richer, fuller life with what they already own.

    For many of us, the new austerity has left us feeling afraid and deprived, but Walsh explains that this shift in priorities is a great opportunity to reassess our lives and circumstances and make changes that focus us on the things that really matter. He asks two questions: How much does the life you want cost-in money, time, and energy? And what would your ideal life be? He then offers clear practical steps to help listeners find the balance between these two answers and offers ways to scale down their wants by repurposing, reusing, and reimagining what they already own so that they can create a life of clarity, balance, and peace.

      A delightful, easy to read, self-help book about the relationship of clutter in our lives to our lives. Walsh shows how "stuff" in our bodies, relationships, and homes are all related and how to get rid of it. I especially enjoyed the occasional letter he printed from someone who had "downsized", either voluntarily or involuntarily, and the effect it had on their life.If you know anyone who may "need" a nudge in cleaning up or someone who loves to watch "Hoarders", then this book is for them.
