The #1
New York Times bestselling guide to
decluttering your home and the inspiration for the hit
Netflix show
Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.
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.**
