Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

An odd little book, it was hard to take it seriously in any way. The techniques the author suggests are often strange (such as collecting every single piece of clothing in your home and piling it in the middle of the floor to go through all at once, throwing away virtually all paperwork in your home because you're probably never going to need it, taking on sorting the entire house at once rather than room by room). The author appears to have a compulsive need for "tidying," including her early efforts as a child in which she took it upon herself to "tidy" not only her own belongings but everyone else in her household's, too, making decisions about and discarding items that belonged to them, not to her. She suggests not keeping instruction manuals for anything, and instead just figuring out how to use your camera, phone, etc. by trial and error. The author praises her own system repeatedly throughout the book, saying that her clients never fall back into their former ways, and that hers is the only system with these perfect outcomes. With no disrespect intended, this seems to be an example of an individual with considerable "tidying" OCD who was able to parlay that into a livelihood.
