The Secret Life of Clutter

‘The Secret Life of Clutter’ is Helen Sanderson’s exploration of how our spaces reflect our psyche. Told through a series of compelling case histories, she shows us the significant changes that happen when people start to let go of their things. Why is it that we feel unable to let go of certain objects? What are the complex interconnections at play in our domestic environments? She believes that decluttering is not a black and white pursuit, instead she seeks to help people establish a practical and psychological balance in their homes. Helen’s expertise is intricately woven into the stories of people she has helped; from the young doctor whose controlled exterior hides an out-of-control living space, to the widower who has misplaced an important key. Her accounts are tender and empathetic, luminously written in elegant prose.
