Clearing

So this guy, who writes books on decluttering your home, has now expanded his thesis to: If your house is cluttered, you're also probably having money problems, weight problems, and your marriage may be failing. Your car probably needs painting. Your clothes may be wrinkled, and your hair need a trim. The pets may need feeding and your refrigerator probably has mold.

Well, okay, maybe not quite all that. But the book is showing these problems as a symptom of...not having it together. And he wants to show you the way to get it ALL together.

Cow would like his books better were he to do one bit of research to back his assertions. One bit of looking things up before spouting off, instead of basing everything on his, admittedly, vast experience with people's messes. That being said, Cow felt he means well, but just seems to have been talked into writing far too many books, far too quickly, by his agent, or bank balance. Which is probably tidy and well-looked-after.
