Enough Already!

I was recently sent a book to read and review that I have to admit to thinking “UGH!”  I really wasn’t looking forward to reading it.  The book? Enough Already by Peter Walsh, host of TLC’s Clean Sweep..  I didn’t even read the cover (beyond the title).  I just thought a book on getting organized? Great! Just what I need. Has he seen my small house? There’s no way to organize the clutter any other way.  However, I was bound and determined to be a good blogger and give it an honest read, and then I was surprised. It was nothing as I expected, and I actually enjoyed reading it.  Don’t you love when that happens?

Turns out the book isn’t even really about “decluttering” my house – it was about clearing my “mental clutter,” and yes, I know I have TONS of that.   I could fill up my own book just describing the clutter in my mind most of the time.  Peter divided the book into six main sections – Relationships, Work, Family, Money, Health, and Our Sense of Well Being.  In each section I found a little of me and really liked the way that Peter looked and it and the steps he recommended to clear the clutter. Another nice break from the reading (and a way to really apply the book to your life) is that there are activities and quizzes throughout the book for you to assist you in really applying the book to your life and finding ways to remove that clutter.

I admit to being a fiction fan.  My preference is always with my fiction books, but I do like to read a little outside my fiction world from time to time and this book is one I would recommend to others.  In fact, my mom and one of my best friends have both already read this book (since I passed it on with my recommendations). Thanks Office Max and Peter Walsh for the opportunity to read Enough Already and share it with my readers.
