The Joy of Leaving Your Sh*t All Over the Place by Jennifer McCartney challenges the anti-clutter movement by embracing the art of messiness. Rejecting the call to throw away your belongings, it celebrates mindful cluttering as a path to creativity, joy and unexpected benefits, from thriving plants to rewarding shopping experiences. This playful manifesto encourages readers to reclaim their spaces and lives with carefree abandon and a sense of humour.

The anti-clutter movement is having a moment. You may have heard about a book—an entire book—written on the topic of tidiness and how "magical" and "life-changing" it is to neaten up and throw away your belongings. Yes, you read that correctly. It's time to fight that ridiculousness and start buying even more stuff and leaving it any place you want. Guess what, neatniks? Science shows that messy people are more creative.*

Being a slob is an art, and there's a fine line between being a consumer and being a hoarder. Don't cross that line. The Joy of Leaving Your Sh*t All Over the Place shows you how to clutter mindfully and with great joy. The results are mind-blowing. Your plants will stop dying. Your whiskey bottle will never run dry. Your drugstore points will finally add up to a free jar of salsa and some nice shampoo. You'll go shopping and discover you've lost weight...

It's time to take back your life from the anti-clutter movement.

*As well as smarter and more attractive.
