Throw Out Fifty Things is truly an eye-opener. According to Blanke, our lives are so filled with junk from the past - from dried up tubes of crazy glue to old grudges - that's it's a wonder we can get up in the morning, never mind go to work, care for our children and parents, and just put one foot in front of the other.Blanke wants to start a movement of people across America throwing out 50 things (magazines count as one!) that will help liberate us from the stuff - both physical and mental - that clutters our lives. It's the physical stuff that keeps us from being happy and calm in our house - not to mention keeps us from finding our keys in the morning! And it is the clutter in our mind that drags us down and holds us back from living the life we want to live.
Blanke takes the listener through each room in the house and helps us figure out what to throw out that will help us move forward. She'll show us how to find and throw out "toxic" possessions that remind us of failed relationships, bad jobs, etc., and she'll help us figure out what to keep in order to help us find out who we really are.
