The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up

This book did really nothing for me. I don't like the idea that my possessions are being tortured by my method of folding or stacking or whatever. I get enough of the particular sadness of possessions having emotions from the Toy Story movies. Also, none of this seems life-changing to me. I mean, granted, I didn't read the whole book...I skimmed a bunch of it though...and I haven't actually gone through the steps but it just sounds like cleaning to me? Am I wrong? Aren't there lots of books about cleaning that have different cleaning methods that might work better or worse for different types of people and this is just one of them? For my next big clean, I am planning on getting rid of as much stuff as possible, because it just sits there doing nothing. Weeding is good for all collections of stuff. But I can't say that reading this book gave me this idea. I don't think that emptying my bag out every single night only to put most of that stuff back inside will make me feel more at peace with my life. So I'm glad that this book helped some people, but I don't really go in for self-help books in general so this one is no exception.
