Total loss
This book may be the most pointless waste of time I've ever read. I blame myself for continuing to read it on the premise that "it can't stay this stupid throughout." It did, at least until I gave up.
This book is not about reconciling the dialectic between materialism and asceticism. It is not even about how to organize your possessions. It is a collection of trite observations along the lines of "Some Things seem to accumulate in piles." Yep, that's as deep as it gets. Add to that some of the most sophomoric and even offensive propositions from the cesspool of pop psychology, such as a definition of autism as "staring at Things for a long time," and you will have a clear understanding of this book without bothering to read it. Move on, pilgrim, before you sink into this vapid quicksand.
