Synopsis
How can a non-hoarder write a book about hoarding? That is easy. I was raised by one, I was married to one, and I served as landlord to many more hoarders. My life has been a tug-of-war of emotions dealing with being criticized, compared to, and punished by my dad for mom's extreme hoarding, and the pain and work it causes everyone involved. Through the journey, I have come to accept the humanity of the hoarder who is buried, cocooned, and insulated by their stuff. I hope my insights will help with whatever journey you are undergoing with your loved ones, even if their hoarding has left no room in their life for you right now. Please don't take it personally, but read the seven reasons I have finally concluded that these individuals choose their mountains of belongings over us. Wishing you health and peace on your journey that you are undertaking, whether it be understanding, compassion, physically shoveling out the garbage, or ultimately accepting the world of hoarding your loved one has now put in front of you.

- r***r (2961)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (13)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
- 0***i (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
