Description

Break the cycle of stuff and declutter for once and for all!

Author Messie Condo is back! And this time, she's tidied up her language to give you her most approachable organizing advice with none of the clutter of salty, NSFW words. With simple tips, hilarious quips, and a no-excuses approach, You Can't Take It With You is the last organizing book you'll ever need. Messie's fun and insightful take on death cleaning will pull you out of your nostalgic reverie and existential dread with a mind-first approach so you can tackle those stacks of family photos, boxes of baby clothes, and attics full of antiques in no time. Readers agree that working with her is like decluttering with a friend--the kind that won't let you keep those old logo tees and half-used hotel soaps. With Messie's help, you can enjoy the rest of your life (long may it be) and your newly guilt-free relationships feeling 1,000 pounds lighter!

About the Author

Messie Condo is a straight-talking organizational savant who believes in working smarter, not harder, when it comes to decluttering. When her favorite label-maker broke, she tossed it and never looked back. She lives in New Jersey, where she writes and organizes on the regular.

Critical Reviews

"An insightful and surprisingly compassionate look at how the excess 'stuff' people accumulate impacts not only their own lives but also the lives of those who will eventually inherit it. Filled with practical--and yes, direct--advice, Nobody Wants Your Sh*t both validates and empowers the reader to move through their anxiety and face their 'stuff' head on."--Annmarie Brogan and Marie Limpert "co-authors of Beyond Tidy: Declutter Your Mind and Discover the Magic of Organized Living"

"Practical, salty, unvarnished advice about making your space your happy place--and maybe doing some emotional work on yourself while you're at it. . . . Messie Condo feels your pain . . . but she's not going to tolerate your bellyaching."--Wired
