Book Reviews of Buried in Treasures: Help for Compulsive Acquiring, Saving, and Hoarding

Book Review: Tired of piles? This book can help
Summary: 5 Stars

This book has examples and advice for people with serious hoarding problems but the advice and exercises are helpful for those with more mild cluttering problems. Both my wife and I read the book and found ourselves energized to clear our space. It covers some of the reasons to be motivated to clear your space and some of the not so obvious roadblocks that get in your way. For example, are you a perfectionist about where everything should be and how it should be disposed? This can cause you to end up with piles to go to right places but too tired or busy to get them there.

-Self-assessments to determine the severity of the problem
