Summary
One of the country's most sought-after professional organizers here makes his foolproof rescue plan available for everyone.
Arguably the most organized man in America, Andrew J. Mellen has created unique, lasting techniques for streamlined living, bringing order out of chaos for a client list that includes attorneys, filmmakers, and even psychologists. With Unstuff Your Life! he puts his powerful program in the hands of his widest audience yet. Acknowledging that it's often the "stuff behind the stuff" that holds people back, Mellen offers an action-based plan to redirect clutterers from dwelling on their feelings. This simple shift yields immediate results that will help everyone achieve organizational bliss. Mellen's mix of humor, honesty, tough love, and foolproof strategies will motivates listeners to work through their feelings and make real behavior changes that will have long-lasting effects.
Written in Mellen's signature no-nonsense yet hilarious tone, Unstuff Your Life! brims with personality, along with approaches not found in other organizing books. Built on the principle that we must distinguish ourselves from our possessions, Unstuff Your Life! starts with truly achievable goals and works toward the nightmare projects everyone tries hard to avoid. From the basement to the bedroom, the kitchen to the car, and more, listeners will learn:
- Where to find a permanent home for your keys and wallet
- How to sort the mail in a manageable and time-effective way
- What it means to group "like with like"
- How to tackle bills and budget
- How to problem-solve with your new skills, and more
The result is absolute freedom from the burden of clutter - and more free time than you ever imagined possible.

Inspirational and comprehensive
What did you like most about Unstuff Your Life?
Well read by the author, his enthusiasm for the cause of de cluttering is infectious. He systematically goes through the whole house/office with instructions. Surprisingly does not feel too holier than thou or preachy, and I have certainly implemented the mail suggestions. The rest will have to wait but unstuffing my life does seem possible even if the task is still daunting.
What was most disappointing about Andrew J. Mellen’s story?
He is American and some suggestions do not travel
What about Andrew J. Mellen’s performance did you like?
His enthusiasm.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No needed to replay some parts and it was not encouraged!

Life style changing
Almost cover all sort of stuff you want to organise,however, if could have a revised version for children toys, gadgets, apps, DVD, CD,music etc will be even more useful.

Very helpful
This has not changed my life-I am yet to practice what Andrew has preached, what it has done is given me a starting point and whilst progress is slow to date I can honestly say it is making a difference. If only I was able to commit fully that difference would be huge-Andrew is both practical and informative. You have nothing to lose but your stuff...

Great if you need to de clutter your home.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would feel happy to recommend this to someone who was struggling to tidy and organise their living space.
Would you ever listen to anything by Andrew J. Mellen again?
Possibly, because I enjoyed the way he presented what could have been a dreary topic, but he inspired and entertained me.
What does Andrew J. Mellen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
This is not a story, but he has a jaunty delivery of his own material which is somehow soothing and reassuring. He makes the listener feel that what he is suggesting might actually be possible, and if you listen to sections a few times over, as I did, you begin to internalise some of his phrases so that you can apply them to your lifestyle.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Some parts made me smile. "Your grandfather's hat is not your grandfather."
Any additional comments?
Once you get the general drift you may not need to listen to the whole book. However, Mellen takes you methodically through the whole house so by the end you should have everything neat and tidy! If you have a partner I suggest you get them to listen to it too, otherwise you will be fighting a losing battle against their untidy habits.

"Get a notebook & start writing" -- I think not!
The reason I use audiobooks is because I'm always on the move -- waking, driving, running etc. Or alternatively before I go to sleep. So when someone instructs me to start taking notes -- and reads out lists of random words -- I immediately switch off.
I guess it could work as a physical book for some people, but note taking is a deal breaker for audiobooks.

Egotistical drab from an American capitalist
If your mother was over protective but without love or understanding, please read this book. Otherwise if you have personality, search for human or scientific help.

Unlistenable
I'm sure the author has a lot of good things to say, but he speaks so quickly that listening was exhausting.
