#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The book that sparked a revolution and inspired the hit Netflix series Tidying Up with Marie Kondo: the original guide to decluttering your home once and for all.
ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE—CNN
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 will help you clear your clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home—and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.
I loved this book so much. I think we as humans definitely keep way to many things. Learning to only keep things that truly make you happy sounds like a great way to start appreciating your life and to feel free. I am extremely excited to start 😊 Alright so for me this book held a lot of weight when talking about how when you get rid of something that doesn't necessarily mean that you also get rid of the memories assocaite with that thing. I have screenshots of conversations from a few years ago when I was in a toxic relationship... I have almost every single conversation we had. I have moved on and I am truly happy with where I am in my life but I have felt like I have to keep them because maybe I'll write a book about it one day or whatever. But I KNOW that it is determiteral to my mental health to keep them. So it's time to get rid of them and finally be free of all the negative emotions that come from them.
