Rachel Hoffman, Unf*ck Your Habitat

This is a book about cleaning that might have been written by your therapist. Rachel Hoffman—who doesn't seem to be a therapist in fact—gives advice about cleaning, sure, but the real value here is in her advice about less palpable cleaning-related problems—how to overcome the dread of starting larger projects, how to talk to people you share your space with about sharing responsibilities. The book is surprisingly wise. It's worth a read, particularly if you're trying to navigate a roommate/spousal situation in which chores need to be divvied up.
