Synopsis

More than a guide to tidying up, What Stays and What Goes is a call to realign your space with your spirit. With equal parts strategy and soul, Faith Roberson invites readers to reimagine home organization as an act of radical self-awareness—in releasing clutter we reflect our personal truth, values, and growth.

Professional organizer Faith Roberson invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery through the art of home organization. Forget the traditional tidying trends you’ve seen before—Roberson’s innovative approach to “soul work” goes deeper, asking important questions, like “Is this really what I want, or is this what I think I should want?” and “Does my home reflect who I am?”

Roberson’s method is holistic, blending the practical act of organizing with emotional considerations. She shows how to shed unnecessary belongings and create spaces that nurture your emotional well-being and reflect your individuality. Packed with questionnaires, worksheets, and solutions to common organizational challenges, this book is a guide to transforming not just your home, but your beliefs about it.

What Stays and What Goes also explores domesticity within a broader sociopolitical history, shedding light on how housework has been undervalued and often relegated to women. By unpacking these historical narratives, Roberson empowers readers to reclaim homemaking as a meaningful act of affirmation and self-care.

With her warm and relatable voice, Roberson weaves in personal anecdotes and real-life client stories, illustrating how decluttering can lead to profound growth. What Stays and What Goes is your guide to creating a home—and a life—that is intentional.

My thanks to Goodreads and Scribner for an advance copy of this book that looks at organizing and decluttering in a different way, one that focuses on the soul and the psyche, one that helps one get to the reasons why it is so hard to part with things, and the cultural aspects of both gathering and......more

Goodreads review by Marian on April 04, 2026

According to author Faith Roberson, "decluttering isn't simply getting rid of stuff. It's about what we leave behind. It's about making room for the present." I couldn't agree more. An organized home starts by decluttering -- tossing out things we no longer want or need -- but I think that this is ju......more
