Palmer shows how we can get rid of the things in our lives that no longer serve us.
by Brooks Palmer
Piles of junk in garages and closets, overflowing papers on desks, items unused for years, masses of unanswered e-mail, clothing never worn, useless gifts that collect dust — all these things, says Palmer, come weighted with shame and guilt and have a suffocating effect on spirit and soul.
In this insightful book, he shows how we can get rid of the things in our lives that no longer serve us. By tossing out these unneeded items, we are also eliminating their negative influences, freeing up energy and unlocking our potential.
Loaded with inspiring anecdotes and practical tips, the book is based on the premise that your things are not sacred, but you are. It explores such fundamental topics as the false identities we assume through clutter, the fear of change those junk piles represent, the addictive nature of holding on to objects, how clearing clutter makes room for clarity and sweeps away confusion and stasis, and much more.
With Palmer’s upbeat and compassionate guidance, you’ll find yourself clearing the way for new and exciting things to come into your life.
