Description
"The 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. "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)"--,Provided by Freading.
