A book that will speak to you

This book is wonderful! I have told all my friends about it but won't let them borrow it because I plan on reading it again and again. I found myself shopping for no reason, my house much too cluttered and no time to get anything done. I knew I was ready to make a change and once I read this, I realize its not that hard. The book is advice on how to declutter your life and be good to yourself and your loved ones. It offers real life examples and lessons. It has become my bible. I strongly suggest this book to anyone who would like a little more organization in their life.

Organizing the Good Life is a GOOD idea.

What is most important to each of us? Ms. Rocks seems to have really listened to her own negative experiences about debt.Her advise in chapter 9 especially hit me, that to focus on what we want requires stability and responsibility. I have been in debt and know that it is hard to focus on anything else but the pressure of bills and not having enough to get by. She suggests to let go of credit cards and pay them down first. "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without."Spend quality time with your family, work toward acheiving learning new enriching skills. Focus on simplicity in life. Any book that states these real truths has my attention. Our lives are short enough. We are temporarily here. In short make it simple, cut your extraneous attachments and allow life to enter in. Organizing the GOOD life is a GOOD idea.

A Good Book for the New Year

The author lays out in an easy to read and understand style real life-affirming steps to getting organized and ridding your life of clutter and negativity. I read this book in one sitting and then passed it around to all my friends.

OK, honey, I'm Trying

A hard-to-put-down book (except I kept putting it down to go organize another closet or take a load of unused "stuff" to Goodwill) that makes you analyze how you want to use your time and money and space to accomplish a Good Life. And to come to the conclusion that Experiences are worth more than Things!The book itself is organized; to summarize every chapter, Celia Rocks has an illustrated box that says, "If you'e been paying attention, honey, here is what I hope you got:" and then bullets the gems of wisdom like "* If you think you have too much...STUFF....in your life, you do. Make lists and determine to pare down."

A MUST HAVE!

Celia Rocks' book is truly a lifesaver! She offers extremely valuable advice on everything from clutter to relationships to finances. The writing flows making it a fast read. There is a lot of good stuff between the covers of this book -- including many ideas I have yet to see anywhere else! I learned a lot of new things that have already started to improve my life. Read it!
