Not everyone lives in an immaculate home.  More than eight out of ten homes have a cluttered room.  Half of us have three or more such rooms.  A third of us find clutter enough of a problem to be embarrassing.

According to Kim Carruthers, most clutterers are people who have the rest of their lives under control.  They hold down responsible jobs, walk out of the house in the morning looking well groomed and get their kids to school every day with a lunch and sports uniform.  What no one sees is the incredible effort needed to do that.

Less is More helps clutterers learn to accept, understand and deal with the deep-seated emotions that go with cluttering while at the same time providing smart and practical techniques, methods, and rules of thumb to clear away the clutter, and keep it away. 

Kim Carruthers is a Sydney-based mother of two children who conducts de-cluttering workshops.  As a student, she lived in Japan where she experienced minimalist living up close.  Kim has travelled extensively as a management consultant and is an expert in packing, removal and unpacking.
