He has some helpful things in there & some exercises to do/think about that will help you define what legacy you want to leave. Even though this is a short book, I think it could have been written, organized, & presented in a better, cleaner, more streamlined format. He mainly focuses on defining your treasures (things that are truly valued by you & that show your values to those who will be dealing with your stuff after you die) & defining your worthy items (daily or needed items such as clothing, dishes, etc.). He, naturally, also emphasizes (as he does in every book or tv program he's on) that you have a finite amount of space & you can't physically fit more stuff into a set amount of space. I also disliked the girls’ parents less here than in canon timeline. Just saying. Separating Anna and Elsa was less their fault here. I must confess that as a student of human development, having read the more recent contributions from narrative therapy, NLP, Psych K, LefKoe method, etc. I was less than enthusiastic about another one : logosynthesis. However in attempting to practice the simple 4 exercises set out in the book, a curious thing happened unresolved experiences which I had as youngster surfaced in my mind, the good thing there was a shift in my thinking. Not only did the stressful feelings evaporate but the negative thoughts were replaced by positive thoughts and feelings. There are exercises in the beginning designed to help you sort out your emotions around downsizing, and some specific techniques presented to help overcome some typical excuses for not d0ing it. Also cautionary tales about how people can make mistakes and keep the wrong items and discard things they'll later regret having lost if you don't take the time to be thoughtful about the process. If they're calling on the phone, it might be a withheld number. They should explain who they are, and make sure you have time to chat privately.

Enter Peter Walsh with a plan. Peter Walsh always has a plan. This time he looks directly at all the baby boomers and tells us "It's time". It's time to clean out the closets, the basement, and all those boxes that you haven't looked through in years (maybe decades). It's time to do this so that you can move into that house that doesn't take all your time and resources to do the maintenance and upkeep. It's time to do this to move into a retirement community if that's your preference. It's time to do this so that your kids won't have to do it. And for those kids whose parents didn't clear out the home, he has a plan for you, too, to deal with what was left behind.My favorite thing about this book: the dedication. "For Jeanette Winterson, who has always wanted to know what goes on in the consulting room." I just love Jeanette Winterson. Anxiety UK offers talking therapies for anxiety. There is a fee but they offer reduced costs for people on a low income. As for expectations, it’s totally fine to envision how you want things to be, and no one is telling you to lower your standards. Keep them while building in some flexibility to allow things to not always go according to your plan, knowing they can still work out for the best.

I was in awe of Let It Go by Dame Stephanie Shirley, the memoirs of one of Britain’s most successful (and possibly most unknown?) female software company entrepreneurs. I certainly hadn’t heard of this amazing woman before and I’m willing to bet that many of you haven’t either. This inspiring book is the story of her journey from 5-year-old Kindertransport child in 1939 to one of Britain’s wealthiest women and most generous philanthropists.
