I don't think I'm the target audience for this book. I found it extremely strange to have a book about clearing out clutter start talking about renaming a rumpus room to a den or sanctifying the floor with salt or imagining that my top is humility.
Not a great deal of actual focus on clearing clutter.

Clutter is a hot topic these days. From popular reality shows, to advertisements on helping clear the clutter, to even meditation music, we are in an age where more isn’t better anymore. Enter Clearing Clutter by Alexandra Chauran. This book tackles the clutter discussion by dividing modern day clutter into three types: physical, mental, and spiritual. In this slim tome she defines the three areas, gives you a three step process for helping to make room in all the areas, and combines it with non-denominational practices and help to keep the weight off.
What I liked: I liked how Chauran uses her own experiences as examples. She has been there, done that and shows us how easy the way out can be. While most books choose to focus on the physical clutter, she takes the idea of clearing one step further and gives tips and tricks and tools for clearing mental space and honing in on the spiritual side.
What I didn’t like: Honestly, decluttering is a one of my favorite topics to read and I sort of wished this book didn’t end. It felt more like an introduction to the process and while Chauran gives a great 3-step process to keep the clutter at bay, I was hoping to see some case studies.
BOTTOM LINE: If you want a good book to introduce you to good ways to declutter your home, clear your mind, and find a spiritual focus, then Chauran’s Clearing Clutter is for you.
