Could you live in an apartment with 90 square feet of floor space, the area approximately the same as a Honda Accord? Could you do it for five years? And could you be happy? Felice Cohen could. And she was. A YouTube video of her astonishing use of space went viral with millions of hits. She has heard from people around the globe, many requesting the outlines of her methods. Felice’s highly organized approach, gleaned from more than 20 years as a professional organizer, prepared her for the challenge of a tiny space, smack in the middle of Manhattan, where the city itself became her “extra rooms.” 90 Lessons is a “want to” guide on how to “live large” in any size space, the message being: eliminate clutter and focus on the things that matter. Whether you live in 90 or 9,000 square feet, this book will be of real practical and immediate value. "...For the 'how to' details, there couldn't be a better book than 90 Lessons: it doesn't explore ideals, but shares actual techniques..." --D. DONOVAN, SENIOR REVIEWER, MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW "A few years ago, we wrote about Felice because she lived such a full life in such an itty-bitty NYC studio apartment. Since that time, she has sat down and written an entire book exploring her strategies for occupying such a tiny place. You don't have to live in an extremely small space to benefit from the advice in her book, though. I found her text easy to read -- it's mostly lists that are direct and simple to follow. There are 90 "lessons" in the book to go with the 90 square feet theme. If you know any graduates heading to college or a big city with a tiny space, this book would be perfect for him or her." - Erin Doland, Unclutter.com "Think of this book as a more approachable version of "TheLife-Changing Magic of Tidying Up." --THE TINY LIFE "...For the 'how to' details, there couldn't be a better book than 90 Lessons: it doesn't explore ideals, but shares actual techniques..." --D. DONOVAN, SENIOR REVIEWER, MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW It wasn't my intention to write a book about living in 90 square feet, but after the world chimed in and wanted to know more about what that experience was like, asked for tips on decluttering and organizing, and praised my philosophy about "living large" in a small space, the book was born. If you want more free time to do what you love instead of working to pay for stuff you rarely ever use or wear, then "90 Lessons for Living Large in 90 Square Feet (...or more)" is for you. The book is a "want-to" guide, offering lessons on how you too, can live large (and enjoy life!) in any size space.
