About the book

#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.

    This book was recommended to me by a friend who knew I wanted to change something up in my life. I wanted to not only organize my home but also my life and this book helped a lot. Her method may seem rather extreme for some, but I have also experienced "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up". The konmari method guides you on your way to declutter and organize your entire home. I especially liked her tips and tricks on how to e.g. fold clothing. The combination of theoretical approaches of tidying up with with practical examples makes this book really worth reading it. Also - You really really want to start organizing and decluttering once you've read it!

    Locker flockig und sympathisch unterhaltsam geschrieben. Schon beim lesen habe ich mir im Kopf gedanken gemacht, wie ich meine Wohnung (mal wieder) umräumen/optimieren möchte. Schon in den letzten Jahren habe ich immer mal wieder ausgemistet und durchsortiert. Ich denke, ein paar Bücher werden fliegen, bei Klamotten habe ich Angst - so viele besitze ich ja gar nicht mehr. Aber es ist ein schöner Gedanke, nur noch Dinge zu besitzen, die einen glücklich machen. Genug gefaselt, jetzt wird aussortiert und aufgeräumt 😁

    Very interesting. Definitely got into the riding bug and my room and living space is absolutely more inviting and feels like a haven now. :) Thank you.
