The Concord Bookshop - Established 1940

Behind our stress and clutter is an infinitely spacious place one might call "stillness" or "joy." This is our natural state of being, but we usually do not experience it because we are caught in a web of material possessions, desires, and fears.

Why has our clutter become like another member of the family that we feed, house, and lug around? "Your Spacious Self: Clear Your Clutter and Discover Who You Are" shows us that it's not our stuff, but the holding on to it that creates a force field of "stuck-ness" that clouds our perceptions and paralyzes our lives. Clutter is not just the junk spilling out of the closet. It is any thing or thought that prevents us from experiencing who we truly are. Clearing is not a tedious exercise of throwing away, but a gentle journey of softening our grip and letting go

Radical in its message and elegant in its simplicity, "Your Spacious Self" offers a new model of clearing that combines the ancient wisdom of space clearing with the modern practicality of clutter clearing. It teaches us that clearing is not just something we "do," but also a powerful way to "be"-one small step, drawer, or moment at a time.
