Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you'll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever. The KonMari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category system, leads to lasting results. In fact, none of Kondo's clients have lapsed (and she still has a three-month waiting list). With detailed guidance for determining which items in your house "spark joy" (and which don't), this book featuring Tokyo's newest lifestyle phenomenon will help you clear your clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home -- and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.
Revolutionized my ability to emotionally detach from items I really don't need. I recommend for anyone who feels like "less is more" sounds good but is hard to accomplish.
the practical methods detailed are quite useful and simple, yet they can me summed up in about 10 pages and the book delves into multiple areas of f**kery seemingly more and more as it goes on. fast and simple read though, i cant lie.
