Are you constantly decluttering, only for the mess to return? Do clothes overflow from your wardrobe, paperwork pile up, and cupboards fill with things you no longer use?
In The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying, Japanese organising consultant Marie Kondo shares her renowned KonMari Method—a practical, step-by-step approach to decluttering and organising your home that focuses on keeping only the items that truly "spark joy."
Unlike traditional room-by-room cleaning methods, the KonMari Method encourages you to tidy by category, helping you make thoughtful decisions about what to keep and how to organise your belongings. The result is a home that is easier to maintain and a more intentional approach to the things you own.
Inside you'll discover how to:
- Declutter your home using the proven KonMari Method
- Organise clothes, books, papers, sentimental items and more
- Create storage systems that are simple and easy to maintain
- Decide what to keep by asking whether it truly sparks joy
- Build lasting habits for a tidy, organised home
Whether you're starting a full home reset, embracing a more minimalist lifestyle, or simply looking for practical decluttering and home organisation advice, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying offers a simple guide to transform your home.
Its strength is its simplicity. -- Richard Lloyd Parry * The Times *
All hail the new decluttering queen Marie Kondo, whose mess-busting bestseller has prompted a craze for tidying in homes across the world ... one proper clear out is all you need for the rest of your life. * Good Housekeeping *
Do I love it? If not, chuck it. Marie Kondo promises that by following her KonMari Method I will be a neatnik, forever ... I decide The Life-changing Magic of Tidying will become my bible. -- Brigid Moss * Red magazine *
[It is] enough to salute Kondo for her recognition of something quietly profound: that mess is often about unhappiness, and that the right kind of tidying can be a kind of psychotherapy for the home as well as for the people in it. * The Times *
The tidiness regimen prescribed by Japanese author Marie Kondo is a great idea. It’s so great that maybe we need to expand its reach * Guardian *
Ms. Kondo delivers her tidy manifesto like a kind of Zen nanny, both hortatory and animistic * The New York Times *
A literal how-to-heave-ho, and I recommend it for anyone who struggles with the material excess of living in a privileged society. (Thanks to Ms. Kondo, I kiss my old socks goodbye.) . . . To show you how serious my respect for Ms. Kondo is: if I ever get a tattoo, it will say, Spark Joy! -- Jamie Lee Curtis * Time *
The Japanese expert’s ode to decluttering is simple and easy to follow * Vogue *
Reading it, you glimpse a glittering mental freedom from the unread/uncrafted/unworn, buyer’s remorse, the nervous eyeing of real estate listings. Life’s overwhelm, conquered * The Atlantic *
Her voice . . . is by turns stern and enchanted, like a fairy godmother for socks * The Wall Street Journal *
