There is a very small essay of useful somewhat newishly presented information in this book. Excellent for messy high schoolers or dorm dwellers, not so much for people owning homes and living in family situations - which it seems the author is only accustomed to from her childhood, not as a working parent. Her constant childhood stories of organizing and 'tidying' (by which she means decluttering) would have had me taking my child to a therapist. And - so much about childhood led me to think that she has not had nearly a long enough career in the business to be putting out a book.
A real shame she used up a great title before having the depth to fill it.
