Penguin presents the audiobook edition of A Monk's Guide to a Clean House and Mind by Shoukei Matsumoto, read by Adam Sims. We remove dust to sweep away our worldly desires. We scrub dirt to free ourselves of attachments. We live simply and take time to contemplate the self, mindfully living each moment. It's not just monks that need to live this way. Everyone in today's busy world today needs it.

Real Life Organizing offers clutter-free storage solutions and advice that can help you create a Pinterest-worthy home on a small budget: Learn how to organize your home, simplify life, and have more time for the things you love.

"The dirty little secret about most organizing advice is that it's written by organized people," says blogger, speaker, and decluttering expert Dana K. White. "But that's not how my brain works. I'm lost on page three." Dana blogs at A Slob Comes Clean, chronicling her successes and failures with her self-described "deslobification process". In the beginning she used the name Nony (short for aNONYmous), because she was sharing her deep, dark slob secret. Now she has truly come clean - with not only her real name but the strategies she has developed.

Es ist ein Phänomen unserer Zeit, dass die meisten Menschen kaum Zeit für sich haben, weil sie täglich ihre Rituale abspulen und ihr Glück den Regeln der Gesellschaft opfern. Sie haben Jobs, die sie nicht mögen, um sich Dinge zu kaufen, die sie nicht brauchen, um Leute zu beeindrucken, die sie nicht leiden können. Mitte 40 erleiden sie den ersten Burnout und im hohen Alter stellen sie fest, dass sie nie richtig gelebt haben. Stell dir vor, dein Leben wäre einfach(er). Du besitzt nur das, was du wirklich brauchst. Deine Tage vergeudest du nicht mehr mit tradierten Pflichten.
