Every book on hoarding that I pick up seems to start with defining hoarding. Don't enough books have that already? Then again, the mental disorder is relatively new, so perhaps each book needs to define where they are coming from. This book covers how to view hoarding, and even cluttered behavior, in an interesting manner. This author firmly designates hoarding as an anxiety disorder and discusses it as a need to shift thoughts. She offers an extended discussion of Cognitive Distortion with regard to cluttering and hoarding, especially when compared with normal habits. Yes, hoarding is a spectrum, like all of humanity is a spectrum. We are not neat little boxes to be shoved in. So agree with that. I like that she's breaking down clutter-keeper and hoarder. I also like that she presents a spectrum for both clutterers and hoarders. This book is chock full of information, though a little dry in its presentation. People who watch the show Hoarders on A&E will know the author well. The text made me willing to explore more of her works. I really appreciated Robin Zasio's direct yet compassionate approach to hoarding. I have seen her on the TV series Hoarders, and admit it's one reason I chose her book. However, I also love the subtitle: How to live a happier, healthier, uncluttered life. That is something I would like to achieve. Zasio introduces hoarding as being on a spectrum, with many of us having some hoarding tendencies. I am not a hoarder per se, but Zasio encourages us to recognize areas in our life that we should deal with. This is not a book focusing on organizing, but rather why we hoard and how to face our desire to hold onto things or to collect things. For me, her suggestions on how to deal with clutter resonate and make sense in a way that other books I've read on organization don't. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

We all have treasured possessions-a favorite pair of shoes, a much-beloved chair, an ever-expanding record collection. But sometimes, this emotional attachment to our belongings can spiral out of control and culminate into a condition called compulsive hoarding. From hobbyists and collectors to pack rats and compulsive shoppers-it is close to impossible for hoarders to relinquish their precious objects, even if it means that stuff takes over their lives and their homes. According to psychologist Dr. Robin Zasio, our fascination with hoarding stems from the fact that most of us fall somewhere on the hoarding continuum. Even though it may not regularly interfere with our everyday lives, to some degree or another, many of us hoard. The Hoarder in You provides practical advice for decluttering and organizing, including how to tame the emotional pull of acquiring additional things, make order out of chaos by getting a handle on clutter, and create an organizational system that reduces stress and anxiety. Dr. Zasio also shares some of the most serious cases of hoarding that she's encountered, and explains how we can learn from these extreme examples-no matter where we are on the hoarding continuum.
