Clutterfree [Kindle Edition] by Courtney Carver & Leo Babauta

Clutterfree book about making your life clutterfree.

Funny, as I was just looking at a sample of this on my Kindle. The table of contents is VERY strange! Are you far enough along to recommend it?

You are so right! It is strange but it is a great book. I'm far enough into it to recommend it but also to say that I think his Four Hour Work week is still my favorite of his three. I wasn't crazy about The Four Hour Body.

I just saw this one on the Times bestsellers list. I wrote it down to check it out. Thanks!

Someone I passed in the park had "Antifragile," and I almost stopped to ask what it was about. Intriguing title. H@ns and vicve, please let us know what you think.

These are terrific...thanks. My original plan was to read just one book a month...I may need to increase that a bit!

I LOVED this book all three times I read it. He's on my list of people I wish I'd had the privilege of working with... it's a fairly short list.

You have excellent taste.

Why, thank you! And I agree - I would have loved to work with him. I was working at Polaroid, in a group of "change agents," and I really found myself envying Hallmark for having someone like him!!

A few years old now, but I really enjoyed Small Giants: Companies That Choose to be Great Instead of Big by Bo Burlingham. Definitely highly recommended.

Thanks, I'll have to read that!

I liked "A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits of Disorder - How Crammed Closets, Cluttered Offices, and on-the-Fly Planning Make the World a Better Place" by Eric Abrahamson. He comes up with all sorts of examples where a certain amount of disorder is actually preferable to order: for example, what's the first thing you do when you pick up a deck of cards that are all in order? You shuffle them, because they're more useful in a random order. He admits that order is also useful; he's just pointing out that in many situations, the optimal amount of order or disorder is something other than perfect order.

Not to hi-jack this thread, but does any know of any other business books written similarly to "The Goal" or "The 5 dysfunctions of a Team" ? Case studies written like a novel.
