The masculine tone in the author’s voice and her natural confidence at the microphone give this recording an arresting, beautiful sound. Her emotional expressiveness is so satisfying to hear. The life coach, speaker, and personal development author says clearing clutter involves more than throwing things out. Do something about your mental clutter, too, by staring at the unneeded stuff in your desk or medicine cabinet and asking “What does it mean that I keep these things?” Banke has an especially resonant voice—kudos to the virtuoso engineer who knew exactly how to capture and shape her melodic sound. The author’s personal de-cluttering anecdotes give this advice a down-to-earth, inviting quality that makes her entire message irresistible. T.W. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
