It seems as though not a day goes by that we donโt think about money. We cut back on spending. We chase a bargain. We try to save more. We strive to use less credit. We worry about funding our retirement and our childrenโs education. Yet we continue to spend money on things that donโt matter. Peter Walsh knows that money and debt can overwhelm your life even faster than clutter, and he has a plan to help you deal with that emotional and financial chaos. Peterโs previous bestselling books inspired us to successfully evict the clutter in our homes, on our bodies, and in six key areas of our lives. But for many people, clearing the clutter suddenly exposes deeper issuesโfinancial, physical, and emotional. Sometimes our problems are not really about the physical stuff but about the emotional fabric of our livesโfrom our relationships with money to our relationships with people and even how we define and find happiness. In Lighten Up, Peter demonstrates that this reassessment of priorities is a great opportunity to examine our lives and circumstances and to make the changes necessary to focus on the things that really matter. Exploring the real source of happiness, Peter offers a clear strategy for finding the delicate balance between what we have, what we need, and what we want or feel entitled to. With three unique audits that cover every aspect of our well-being, he takes us step by step through sizing up not just our possessions and financial statements but also our thoughts, goals, use of time and energy, and even our innermost sources of tension. He then shows us how to embrace the changes weโve experienced, set a new path for the future, and come to accept that living on less can feelโand beโso much richer. In Lighten Up you will learn how to: โข Change the way you and your family measure happiness โข Face your financial situation and set realistic priorities โข Create space for what really matters โข Plan realistically for financial and emotional security โข Be happier with less Peterโs plan will help you achieve a personal balance that brings you happiness and the courage to choose a richly rewarding life over the mindless pursuit of more stuff.
