Impassioned, spanning multiple decades. Plea for pacifism. Maybe not really practical but valuable nonetheless.

sunstone reviewed It's All Too Much by Peter Walsh
Really the only decluttering book you need
5 stars
Marie Kondo focuses a lot on the how, which is hard to get away from. The bulk of this book is the how as well. However, it starts and ends with the why — specifically, the emotional components.
Very much geared toward people who live in houses, not apartments. But they need this information the most anyway.
Every American over the age of 14 should read this book at least once in their lives.

Content warning Ending mention
I guess I get it a little bit, but I don’t really get it. Felt a little bit like a YA novel and not just because main characters where kids. It’s told from the POV of someone who only partially understands what she observes but is very observant nonetheless.
The ending could’ve swung for the fences a little more, I feel.
