Rating  - Too much
Seems like he tries to organize the whole world in this book. Because of that, each little tidbit is not thorough enough. I guess if you need some hints to get started on something, he's got it in here, but for a more thorough and step-by-step process, try another resource.
Rating  - Literally EVERYTHING Is Organized
Holy canoly! I never realized how many things in life can be organized. I don't believe there is a subject Peter didn't touch upon! This is definitely a book to keep in my now small library as a handy reference guide.
Rating - Absolutely Terrific!
I (used to) have seventeen boxes of self-help books in my garage. They were neatly boxed and labeled, but they were there. Now that I own "How To Organize (Just About) Everything" they're gone. I don't need them.
All the soul-searching I did in the 1960s, and the newer digging deep inside myself for answers I fell for during the 1980s have been compressed into one-page solutions to life's challenges in this terrific book.
I don't have to analyze why I want a piece of chocolate; I just have to eat it right. My husband doesn't have to mourn not becoming an astronaut; he can simply read what to do if he decides to become world's oldest man in space.
Many of the people who don't like this book seem to want something "more." Well, I've been to More and back again, and this book suits me just fine. If you're not looking for deep psychological or philosophical answers, this book is wonderful!
Rating  - Different Opinion
I found the sillier lists, like Becoming an Astronaut, Winning an Academy Award and Becoming President, to be interesting and gave a good perspective. Also, the Pirates one was talking about literal modern day pirates- people who come on your boat and steal your stuff, not rum-drinking one-legged pirates of yore.
Everyone's situation is going to be different- it'd be impossible to write a book that addresses every minutiae for varying situation. But it's easy to get the basic ideas- for instance, to organize anything, you need to take everything out of the space, and then put the stuff you still want back in the space. That's an astoundingly simple but good solution. It gave me good ideas on food trees, car rallies, and block parties, too.
