  <default_description>&quot;Our lives are so filled with junk from the past-from dried up tubes of glue to old grudges-that it's a wonder we can get up in the morning,&quot; exclaims motivator, best-selling author, columnist, and life coach Gail Blanke.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&quot;If you want to grow, you gotta let go,&quot; is Blanke's mantra; and that means eliminating all the clutter-physical and emotional-that holds you back, weighs you down, or just makes you feel bad about yourself.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In THROW OUT FIFTY THINGS she takes us through each room of the house-from the attic to the garage-and even to the far reaches of our minds.  Through poignant and humorous stories, she inspires us to get rid of the &quot;life plaque&quot; we've allowed to build-up there.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;LI&gt;That junk drawer (you know that drawer) in the kitchen? &lt;EM&gt;Empty it!&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Those old regrets? &lt;EM&gt;Throw 'em out!&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;LI&gt;That make-up from your &quot;old&quot; look? &lt;EM&gt;Toss it!&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;LI&gt;That relationship that depresses you? &lt;EM&gt;Dump it&lt;/EM&gt;!&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt; Once you've hit fifty-you'll be surprised how easy it is to get there-and once you've thrown out that too-tight belt and too-small view of yourself, you'll be ready to step out into the clearing and into the next, and greatest, segment of your life.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I had this thing on reserve forever and it was not what I thought it was.  There are chapters on throwing out your spouse and sponging relatives. (Well sortof) I think the theory is that a tidy mind begets a tidy house.  I just want to throw things away or find them good homes preferably.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I admit that I am a pack rat and it DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!! This was a great, realistic approach to actually dealing with clutter room by room as well as mentally. I LOVED it and am working on implementing the strategies to simplify my home, my mind, my life!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[<s>So far, looks better than the average de-cluttering book. Oh yes, I have read MORE THAN ONE. </s><br/><br/>I abandoned this one. You can get the main idea from the title, and then the author talks about her own adventures in discard for as long as the reader can hang in. I get it.

    <body><![CDATA[I lost interest and quit reading it.  It also didn't inspire me to get up and start throwing things out, which I really need to do.  But it does have some good suggestions.  I was a  little surprised to see it covers emotional/mental &quot;cleanup&quot; as well as physical.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was different than what I was expecting.  I thought it would be more of a how-to organizational book, giving tip &amp; suggestions for organization.  This book is more of a motivational book.  It reads like the author is giving you a pep talk.
