The Art of Happy Moving

I picked this up because I was searching the decluttering subject heading at my local library and it would have been SO helpful to have read this 2 years ago when I did a cross country move - making new friends is hard ya'll.

Anyway, I loved that Wenzke covers the gamut here from buying/selling houses, packing and moving, setting up a new space, getting the kids on board, so much helpful social interaction tips (seriously, I need someone to break down human behavior for me cause I still suck at it) and, unless you are very unusual, everybody needs to move at least a couple times in their lives. The aesthetic and tone are approachable and practical, with little quizzes and fill out bits get you to think about what might work best for you. She even points out where you can skip ahead if a section is not applicable to you (no kids, no pets, not buying, wtv)

Many helpful tips and also–bonus–funny!

I recommend The Art of Happy Moving for anybody who is moving or thinking of moving. Moving is stressful, and most books and articles about moving are so dry, but Wenzke's warmth and humor made this enjoyable to read.
