About this listen
A guide to decluttering from the international best-selling author and happiness guru Gretchen Rubin.
Gretchen Rubin explores one of her key secrets to happiness: that for most of us, outer order leads to inner calm. A messy desk or a cluttered cupboard might seem like a trivial matter, yet Rubin has found that by simply organising our stuff, we free up space for what we truly value (in our lives and in our homes).
Do I need it? Do I love it? Do I use it?
This new volume, with over 150 concrete ideas, approaches the problem of how to best organise our possessions with Gretchen Rubin's characteristic clarity and humour, explaining how best to:
- Make choices
- Create order
- Know yourself - and others
- Cultivate helpful habits
- Add beauty
Leading on from both Happiness at Home and The Four Tendencies, the audiobook is filled with practical insights, clear strategies and sometimes surprising tips to help listeners find what works best for them to regain control and lead happier, healthier, more productive and more creative lives.

Praise for The Four Tendencies: "There's something rather profound going on here: an advancing of self-knowledge, and mutual human understanding, which could surely be harnessed as a recipe for world peace." (Daily Telegraph)
"A genius." (The Guardian)
"If you want to change anything in your life, you need Gretchen Rubin." (Viv Groskop, journalist and rebel)

Some of the tips might be useful but the majority definitely don’t fit this ADHD brain!
These aren’t quotes but they capture how this book comes across to me.
- Have you considered getting rid of clutter so you can use that space?
- If something is not put away, try putting it away.
- Throw away rubbish.
I like her other stuff but probably wouldn’t have read it if this was my introduction.
Light on detail, not for advanced chaos

It would be good for someone who either hadn't read the other books; someone who just loves the author's work no matter what; and/or someone who wanted a topic-specific revision.
OK but a repeat of author's other books
