The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing

$10.19

The KonMari Method for decluttering is brilliant because it encourages you to tune in to what brings you joy on a soul level and thus brings light and love into your home. When you are surrounded by all that brings you love and happiness, your joy in being in the present is enhanced and you instantly feel unburdened and joyful. I highly recommend this method and Marie Kondo’s books. This method has set me free in many ways from past attachments to objects.

Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of noodles?

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 international bestseller 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.
