Growing up, Joanne suffered at the hands of a violent boyfriend and controlling relatives, as her mother lapsed into a downward spiral following the break-up of her marriage. But the consequences of her mother's lifestyle turned out to be worse than Joanne could ever have imagined. She already knew about the baby buried in a shallow makeshift grave next to the family plot. But when Joanne came across a red plastic bin in her mother's wardrobe in 2009, she realised that the family home held an even more sinister secret.

If you like true stories, this is a good one. Some parts are not easy to hear but they don't go deep into gruesome details.
Good listen. Some "plot twists". This woman has a heck of a story!

Good book & Ouch all at the same time....
Reviewed: 08-18-24
I wanted to love it but there was a strong message about your son's will not want you as a mom as teens they only relate and want dad.. they only relate to dad ans dont identify with mom nor want to speak to mom.. they only want- blah blah blah...
on another note there is great advice about talking to teens sons about sex ... and some other advice that was important about teens sons...
better for older kids - 10 years plus.. and as a mom, get ready to have your feelings hurt about how your kids won't want you as when they are teens...

He probably is! The info in this book is mostly pertaining to males. It is from a relationship standpoint for the most part but I used it to better understand my narcissist father and I think a lot of it was relatable to can be used in different situations.

The emotional trauma we suffer as children not only shapes our emotional lives as adults but also affects our physical health and overall well-being. Scientists now know on a biochemical level exactly how parents' chronic fights, divorce, death in the family, being bullied or hazed, and growing up with a hypercritical, alcoholic, or mentally ill parent can leave permanent, physical "fingerprints" on our brains.

Eve has a problem with clutter. Too much stuff and too easily acquired, it confronts her in every corner and on every surface in her house. When she pledges to tackle the worst offender, her horror of a "hell room", she anticipates finally being able to throw away all of the unnecessary things she can't bring herself to part with: her fifth-grade report card, dried-up art supplies, an old vinyl raincoat. But what Eve discovers isn't just old CDs and outdated clothing, but a fierce desire within herself to hold on to her identity.

could have been better....
Reviewed: 06-18-24
I try to be as kind as possible because I know authors put a lot of work into writing books.... however there was something missing for me in this one... I've read 20÷+ books on Hoarding, decluttering, organizing...
this book is a story about the authors experience - as a major clutter bug- many feeling and thoughts were relatable.. that's what I liked thw most about the book...
I just think It could have been better with a chapter about what the author learned about her no clutter year and a conclusion.. it didn't feel finished or wrapped up at the end in my opinion...
lastly she went back and forth with yes declttering is great mentally oh but I don't have to declutter like others to be happy if that's what I want kind of thinking...
idk, just my least favorite of all books on this topic

Promising health, wealth, and happiness, feng shui offers endless appeal - at least in concept.

Fortunately, Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life is written in plain and simple English. Revealing the ancient Chinese secrets that are as useful and necessary today as they have been for centuries, Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life communicates how to meet "The One", find a dream job, and much more.

Trying to remember a bunch of details and tasks isn't the best use of your brainpower. By collecting all of your tasks in one place, you can reserve your mental energy for work that drives significant results, both in your professional life and your personal life. To start, productivity expert Maura Thomas takes us through an exercise called "brain dumping", which will clear your mind of all the things you're trying to remember you have to do - all the things that are distracting you or keeping you up at night.

Sparked by the painful two-year process of cleaning out her mother's house in the wake of a devastating physical and emotional collapse, Howard sets her own personal struggle with clutter against a meticulously researched history of just how the developed world came to drown in material goods.

The book gives a history lesson on how we have acquired so many belongs... and a ride along as the author cleans out her mother's cluttered house...
If you are looking for tips on decluttering - this isn't your book. If you want to know why you clutter - this is probably the best book for that either...
If you want to know how you've got to thw point of acquiring too many belongs and/or you're cleaning our a beloved parents home - probably a good listen!
Happy Listening!
