Peter Walsh helps readers create a less-is-more life that is completely fulfilling. Peter's previous bestselling books inspired readers to successfully get rid of the clutter in their homes, on their bodies, and in six key areas of their lives. But for many people, clearing the clutter suddenly exposed deeper issues-financial, physical, and emotional. They realized that their problems were not really about the physical stuff but about the emotional fabric of their lives-from their relationships with money to their relationships with people and even how they define and find happiness. In Lighten Up, Peter explores the real source of happiness and offers a clear strategy for finding the balance between what we have, what we need, and what we want. With three unique audits he takes readers step by step through sizing up not just their possessions and financial statements but also their thoughts, goals, use of time and energy, and their vision for a complete life. After working through Peter's plan readers will know how to fulfill the vision they have for their ideal life and understand the truth between what they need and what they want and the courage to choose a richly rewarding life.
