Book ID/图书代码： 02173016B88662
English Summary/英文概要： It’s a rite of passage almost no one will escape: the difficult, emotional journey of downsizing your
or your aging parents’ home. Here, nationally syndicated home columnist Marni Jameson sensitively
guides readers through the process, from opening that first closet, to sorting through a lifetime’s
worth of possessions, to selling the homestead itself. Using her own personal journey as a basis, she
helps you figure out a strategy and create a mindset to accomplish the task quickly, respectfully, rewardingly—
and, in the best of situations, even memorably. Throughout, she combines her been-there
experience with insights from national experts—antiques appraisers, garage-sale gurus, professional
organizers, and psychologists—to offer practical wisdom and heartwarming advice so you know with
certainty what to keep, toss or sell.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是几乎每个人都会遭遇的：将祖屋或者年长的父母居住的房子进行精简所经历的困难和情感上的失落。全美知名的家庭专栏作家Marni Jameson将在本书中引导读者从打开第一个橱门开始，如何整理一生收藏的种种，最终卖掉房子。她将个人的经历作为基础，帮助读者形成整理的策略，从而快速、有效地完成任务。她能够将个人的想法和其他专家——例如古玩品鉴家、车库拍卖达人、职业整理师、心理学家之类——提供的有效意见和温馨提示结合在一起，所以只要读过此书就会明白什么该留、什么要弃、什么可以卖。（LYR）
Awards/获奖情况：家居和生活方式专栏作家Jameson用她帮助父母搬家的经验和各种专业知识，帮助读者通过21个简洁明了且附带总结的章节清楚地了解到什么样的东西是可以整理掉的。Jameson也认同处理掉个人的记录和所有品、家里的家具甚至房子本身可能带来一种负罪和悲伤的感触，但她鼓励读者能够突破感情的界限来整理物品并决定去留、甚至给可能出卖的物品标价。书中讨论的处理方式包括出售房子、储存物品、和卖家商谈、进行在线买卖、在跳蚤市场出卖二手货等等。书中还有一些建议和实用的信息，可能会让所有希望精简个人所有品或者不知道该如何丢东西的人感兴趣。（Library Journal星级点评）
“Citing her experience helping her parents move
and dispose of excess possessions, home and lifestyle
columnist Jameson (The House Always Wins)
shares her pragmatic approach to getting rid of
unwanted items in 21 short, succinct chapters
with pithy main-point summaries. Acknowledging that the handling of personal papers and
belongings, household furnishings, and the home itself can trigger feelings of guilt and sadness,
Jameson encourages readers to push beyond the emotions to sort objects, determine the
best disposal methods, and price the potential sale pieces. Disposal options discussed include
selling the house; storage; working with bulk buyers; navigating online sales; selling goods
at flea markets, secondhand, pawn, and consignment shops; rehoming and donating goods;
and holding estate sales. Websites listed in the bibliography are current as of this review.
The common-sense advice and practical information here will be of interest to persons facing
downsizing or needing to get rid of stuff they no longer use.” -Library Journal, starred review
