It's challenging but Peter Walsh is speaking the truth. We have not only overwhelmed our homes, we have overwhelmed our planet. Barely anything we believe we are recycling is coming back into our homes as new products. We move stuff from our house to donation centres,  recycling hubs, other people's homes, and feel good. But we keep producing and consuming on a global level far beyond what we can use as a species.

So profound!  The "promise" and the "power"!  I'd never thought of clutter in quite that way before.  And the sadness of failed promises.  Peter put it so, so well.

Peter, for a non-religious person, you really did a great description of the sin of covetousness! I too am a devout catholic, and never really understood it as well as you described it thank you very much!

This was a great episode. My mom just passed away. She lived in her home her entire life. I grew up there. Now I have one of the hardest jobs I have ever had & that is cleaning out her house.. my family home & sell it. 😢😢😢😢😢 How am I going to throw her things away? I can’t keep everything. I’m the only child. I don’t know how I’m going to do this but this episode helped me & I thank you both so very, very much!!!🙌🙌👍

Wow.  When Peter said that he understands ‘covet’ now, it hit me that one of the principals of the early Christian church is to be content.  Advertising has undermined that completely, and social media has made covetousness so much a part of our daily lives now.  You can’t look at your phone without being bombarded by advertising, and how fabulous your neighbors lives are.  You actually have to be completely counter culture to be at peace with yourself and your life.

My level of admiration and respect for Peter Walsh has increased astronomically as I listen to this broadcast. His views on consumerism, plastics, fast fashion, etc. mirror my own.

So proud of you Peter for speaking out!! There is a movement of people wanting to access good quality, handmade products, which might cost the same price of 10-20 cheaper products,  instead of over-consuming.  For example, the capsule wardrobe advocates and those of you who are teaching about and encouraging decluttering and minimalism are to be applauded!! Perhaps a show on living and consuming a quality over quantity lifestyle is order. ❤

ABSOLUTELY LOVE PETER WALSH!!!! Have JUST begun watching and am so excited to keep going!! I’m so frustrated that we can’t get his tv series in the U.S.—we need it SO badly, as mass consumption plays such a huge role in global warming and the problems we are running into with the environment….something people often don’t tend to consider as one of the top contributors toward the climate crisis! More people need to be exposed to Peter and his EXTREMELY wise words!!!! He’s super on our aging and inspiring—just like y’all are, Leslie and Ingrid!!! So grateful for the show you two put out—it’s played an important role in my slowly-but-surely journey to becoming more organized as an adult living alone with ADHD—which has become more severe due to other health disorders that didn’t flare until I was about 21. The neurological problems associated with the infectious diseases+pathogens tend to cause symptoms that are similar to ADHD as it inflamed the brain. So while I was used to being the hyperactive type, I’m now struggling with the inattentive type and it’s much different! But y’all are one of my few go-to podcasts when I need to get motivated (while still getting that upbeat attitude from y’all, and without having to lose the entertainment factor!). So just wanted to take this chance to express my gratitude, and for bringing (what is so far!) an AMAZING discussion with Peter Walsh!!!! It’s people like you two ladies—who bring attention to an area of wellness/mental health that is often overlooked in the umbrella that is covered under “self-improvement”—who are truly making a difference in people’s lives…often those who have already attempted to find happiness via the go-to “self-improvement” and “happiness” books, yet didn’t find what they were looking for there—often because the problem lies within their STUFF! It becomes such a relief to finally get to a place where one no longer feels an attachment to the “things” in our lives—and the way I’ve learned to change the way I think about my relationship to “things” has been precisely via podcasts like this one!!!

I remember watching Peter on "Clean Sweep!" He is the OG of space clearing. Listening to his books (audio format) were so enjoyable and insightful. He is truly able to get to the core of what causes clutter to develop and offer applicable, practical resolutions. His wisdom goes beyond organizational skills. Sadly, his show isn't broadcast where I live. Thanks so much for inviting Peter to do this video. It is good to know that he is still thriving and his show is successful in Aussie Land!

The tradition of gift-giving during celebrations may be cultural in nature. In my culture, the tradition is to give cash to a couple who is getting married, and they often use it to offset the cost of the wedding reception. We also give gifts to new babies when we go to visit them at home (after they return from hospital), but usually the items are practical things like diapers and baby clothes. We don't have baby showers, so there are no gifts before baby is born. For Christmas, most people I know don't give more than one gift per person within their family circle -- plus, a married couple (like uncle & aunt) would give a joint gift rather than separate gifts. So kids don't drown in gifts/toys at Christmas.

The more I hear from Peter Walsh, the more I love his methods and rationale! 💗🤩 We need more REAL role model types like him in the world, instead of the fake (and encouraging bad habits re: lack of sustainability etc.) "influencers" these days. They are so short-sighted, whereas Peter sees the big picture and impact of what we do. His 30days to get organized challenges  have really helped me, as well as his brilliant emotional insights to really get to the roots of the issues.
