The Secret Lives of Hoarders: True Stories of Tackling Extreme Clutter


The Secret Lives of Hoarders: True Stories of Tackling Extreme Clutter
by Matt Paxton and Phaedra Hise
256 pages
Published 2011 by Perigee Trade

Matt Paxton,  of Hoarders fame,  details more of the dirty secrets of the psychological condition and his team who tries to bring order to chaos.

Throughout the book Paxton assures us repeatedly he is not a therapist, he just works with them. His stories are really compassionate, it would be easy to ridicule and focus on the  terrible conditions hoarders and their families live in.

I picked up this book to reinforce my own tendency to hang on to stuff a little to much. There but for a low gag threshold and more garage space go I. Don't miss the tale of the: Eight. Foot. Wide. Rats. Nest. OMG.
