About this listen

Sorting through a lifetime's worth of accumulated possessions can be a daunting and stressful process that millions of Americans confront every year. The need to downsize often arises at a momentous life change, whether you're an empty nester or retiree selling your family home, a newlywed blending your households, or cleaning out your parents' property after they've moved into assisted living or passed away.

Decluttering guru Peter Walsh knows the difficulty of downsizing firsthand. Along with six of his siblings, he went through the process of downsizing his family home and dividing his late parents' possessions. He realized that making these decisions about mementos and heirlooms creates strong emotions and sometimes sibling rivalries. After this experience, he downsized his own home. Peter doesn't see downsizing as a difficult chore - rather, it's a freeing, rejuvenating process. Now, in Let It Go, you'll access Peter's many tips and practical takeaways, such as how to:

  • Understand the emotional challenges that accompany downsizing
  • Create strategies for working with your spouse, adult kids, or siblings without drama
  • Identify the objects that will bring you real happiness

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Ok, now I get it. Peter Walsh’s unique approach to getting the most out of our memories so that we can honour them while moving forward has been invaluable to me. I’m about to declutter to downsize my family home in which I raised my children and was feeling overwhelmed at the prospect. His advice has been invaluable - I understand my why; I can visualise my how. Now I can Do.

Now I get it!

Short and sweet book about downsizing. Many practical tips. Would have been better if Peter Walsh read it himself.

Peter Walsh does it again. We love this book as we are currently downsizing. This is great if you can read it or listen before you downsize but if you are like us and had to move quickly and well we had 3-4 houses into one and no kids in one move! It is fabulous. Thanks, Peter, I am getting there and life is feeling much lighter!

Downsizing is the new way to live!
