He discusses the clutter of control, of unhealed emotions, of attachments to past relationships and connections to current ones that are toxic. Throughout, he offers exercises to assist us in making room for ourselves and others, and finishes up with tips on how to work with a partner, co-worker or friend in de-cluttering shared space. ]]> Fri, 04 May 2012 18:12:13 -0700
