OK this book really wasn’t that bad and doesn’t deserve this two star rating BUT this is the first non-fiction book I have read by my own will and not because of school which is dodgy :/. most of this book was about great mindfulness stuff which was great! but right now, I’m stressing about mini assessments that i’m not so sure i can do these tedious routines which I really want to do :( It was really interesting learning about the different cultures and religions though and think this is great I guess it wasn’t for me

How to Make Space is a simplified guide to understanding space, alone-time, and the importance of preserving one's creature comforts. Arlene Unger doesn't just offer a Marie Kondo 'The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying- Up', she offers philosophical and psychological thoughts. And she doesn't endorse a quick tidy-up but a more conscious clear-out. Declutter but then, buy with a purpose.
I enjoyed this book, Unger takes a holistic approach: she fully considers how clearing one's house can contribute further success in other areas. Written conscisely, and beautified with illustrations and borders: this is the perfect addition to any shelf.
