| 13 | 11 | I first read this book in January and decided to wait to review it till I could figure out if the methods in the book were practical. When I read the book, I was a rather skeptical. Some of the anecdotes make the author seem a few cards short of a full deck. E.g. throwing other people's stuff away without asking them, dumping unwanted stuff on a younger sibling, etc. So, considering that the average person is unlikely to act in such a (inappropriate?) way, I was wary; particularly of the technique where you're expected to touch each thing to determine if it brings you joy. I decided to let the ideas, bereft of the awkward bits, simmer for a few days before deciding to put them into practice. |
