Let It Go

Outline

Let It Go (2011) helps people who are ready to downsize their homes and simplify their lives, especially during major transitions such as children leaving home or retirement. Peter Walsh offers a practical plan for deciding what to keep, sorting through years of possessions, and dealing with the emotions that attachment to things can bring. The book shows how letting go can lead to a richer, happier life.

• Letting go of physical clutter and emotional attachment to things makes room for relationships, new experiences and greater happiness.
• Big life changes, such as children leaving home or retirement, are natural moments to downsize and simplify.
• A practical plan helps you decide what to keep instead of leaving the choice to chance.
• Sorting through years of possessions is easier when you face the feelings that attachment to things brings.
• Letting go can lead to a richer, happier life rather than a smaller one.
