Genre:
Non-Fiction/Self Help
Description:
“Film and television views of the future are always clean, sleek and
uncluttered. I used to think it was the technology. That at some point in the
future, we’d have the technology to meet our daily needs without the need to
climb over all of our daily stuff.
Then at one point, quite recently, I realized that we’re already
there…”
Author:
Charity Grant is the pen name of an author who has written multiple
non-fiction books designed to make the reader’s life better in some way.
Appraisal:
Many (most?) of us have trouble with clutter. Some (like the people on
that Hoarders TV show) more trouble
than others. There are numerous techniques for preventing or eliminating that
clutter. My Mom even self-published a book 25 years ago to sell at seminars she
conducted that had a chapter on getting rid of clutter.
My success at implementing my Mom’s decluttering ideas has been mixed,
at best. I think I’ll have better luck with Charity Grant’s suggestions. Some
of them I’ve already implemented. (Those hundreds of books I get each year are
no longer paper which has stopped bookcases from taking over my entire house.)
Other suggestions I can see their value and, most important, can actually
picture myself doing. To me, that’s the sign of a self-help book that’s
worthwhile.

Great concept for a nonfiction book. When I saw the cover I wasn't expecting a five-star review. In fact, I mostly read the review to try to figure out what the heck kind of book it was -- I honestly thought it might be some kind of kids' book or chick lit with a character named Clutter in it.
LOL. I think I know that chick. (A couple of my granddaughters could be called Clutter, I think. )
