I enjoyed this book. However, I disagree with the author about the best way to declutter. I have found that decluttering from the inside-out (starting with closets and ending with high traffic areas/living room) works best. Granted, he has a family, so maybe starting with "easy" areas makes it easier to get other family members on board with the process. But I live alone and I have found that if you start with closets, it frees up storage, so when you tackle living areas you will actually have a place to put things you want to keep, so you don't have to create a special triage-area. You can just put stuff in the closet at that point. Just my two cents.
