This best-selling guide to decluttering your home from Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes readers step-by-step through her revolutionary KonMari Method for simplifying, organizing, and storing.Japanese organizational consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly declutter your home once, you'll never have to do it again. Whereas most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, the KonMari Method's category-by-category, all-at-once prescription leads to lasting results. In fact, none of Kondo's clients have been repeat customers (and she still has a three-month waiting list of new customers!). With detailed guidance for every type of item in the household, this quirky little manual from Japan's newest lifestyle phenomenon will help readers clear their clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home--and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.

A truly inspiring book, that will change the way you look at all your 'stuff': your clothes, your books, your knick-knacks, etc.
I have made changes in my wardrobe, and have changed my attitude towards all the 'stuff'.
Not every aspect of this book is relevant for me, but I have definitely gained insight after reading it!

Marie Kondo is an expert on tidying, so much so that in Japan she is famous for it and her agenda is always full. This book explains her method. When you need to clean up and declutter your house you take on everything in one fell swoop, sorting by category rather than space. For every item you own you ask yourself "Does this spark joy?" - if not, you toss it. Her book is light, very accessible and inspirational. I started cleaning up my house right after I read it with awesome results.
