Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things
by Randy O. Frost Gail SteketeeThe New York Times bestseller. &“Gripping . . . By turns fascinating and heartbreaking . . . Stuff invites readers to reevaluate their desire for things.&”—Boston Globe &“Amazing . . . utterly engrossing . . . Read it.&”—The Washington Post Book World What possesses someone to save every scrap of paper that&’s ever come into his home? What compulsions drive a person to sacrifice her marriage or career for an accumulation of seemingly useless things? Randy Frost and Gail Steketee were the first to study hoarding when they began their work a decade ago. They didn&’t expect that they would end up treating hundreds of patients and fielding thousands of calls from the families of hoarders. Their vivid case studies (reminiscent of Oliver Sacks) in Stuff show how you can identify a hoarder—piles on sofas and beds that make the furniture useless, houses that can be navigated only by following small paths called goat trails, vast piles of paper that the hoarders &“churn&” but never discard, even collections of animals and garbage—and illuminate the pull that possessions exert over all of us. Whether we&’re savers, collectors, or compulsive cleaners, very few of us are in fact free of the impulses that drive hoarders to extremes. &“Authoritative, haunting, and mysterious. It is also intensely, not to say compulsively readable.&”—Tracy Kidder, Pulitzer Prize-winning author &“Fascinating . . . a good mix of cultural and psychological theories on hoarding.&”—Newsweek &“Pioneering researchers offer a superb overview of a complex disorder that interferes with the lives of more than six-million Americans . . . An absorbing, gripping, important report.&”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Stuff That Sucks: Accepting what you can't change and committing to what you can (The\instant Help Solutions Ser.)
by Ben SedleyEach of us has thoughts that are painful at times; sometimes the pain is sadness, sometimes worry or anger or shame or grief or some feeling that you don't even have words for. If you are a young person struggling with your emotions, you do not want to be told that 'everyone feels like that' or that 'you will grow out of it'. You want to feel that your emotions are valid and that the person offering help truly understands how painful life can feel at times. With a strong emphasis on validation and compassion, Stuff That Sucks encourages you to accept your emotions rather than struggling against them. It also shows how to reconnect with what is really important to you, giving you the tools to help clarify your personal values and take steps towards living a life where those values can guide you in your day-to-day behaviour.
