Are books one of your possessions that pile up the most?

The reason this happens is because of the way you think about your books.

If you have book clutter, you might be telling yourself that your books are part of your identity or the memories of reading them are strong (you obtained insight or you read it on vacation) or you may even rationalize that you may want to read the book again (have you ever?).

As you clear out your bookshelves you can dress up the shelves and accessorize with you books and other items. By keeping only the books that mean the most to you, your will indeed see your identity shining bright.
