Story
In this era of mass consumption, we are all drowning in 'stuff', despite our best efforts to keep on top of the clutter that collects in our homes, our office spaces and even our cars. All this clutter causes us mental anguish. However, as we all know, throwing things away can be difficult - it clashes with the values instilled in us from an early age of not wasting things, reusing items and keeping things 'for a rainy day'. Simply put, we feel guilty about getting rid of things. Enter Nagisa Tatsumi and her bold suggestion - that it's okay to throw stuff away.

Yet a home with too much stuff is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin? Add in paralyzing emotional attachments and constant life challenges, and it can feel almost impossible to make real decluttering progress.

It can be a beautiful, enriching, and life-transforming practice that, at its core, is all about re-establishing what holds value in your life and letting go of what does not.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin
Live in a clean and clutter-free home forever with the life-changing KonMari Method - now a multi-million copy international best seller.
Transform your home into a permanently clear and clutter-free space with the incredible KonMari Method. Japan's expert declutterer and professional cleaner Marie Kondo will help you tidy your rooms once and for all with her inspirational step-by-step method.
The key to successful tidying is to tackle your home in the correct order, to keep only the things you really love and to do it all at once - and quickly. After that for the rest of your life you need only to choose what to keep and what to discard.
The KonMari Method will not just transform your space. Once you have your house in order, you will find that your whole life will change. You can feel more confident, you can become more successful, and you can have the energy and motivation to create the life you want. You will also have the courage to move on from the negative aspects of your life: you can recognise and finish a bad relationship; you can stop feeling anxious; you can finally lose weight.
Marie Kondo's method is based on a 'once cleaned, never messy again' approach. If you think that such a thing is impossible, then you should definitely listen to this compelling audiobook.

Great but physical book would be better
I really enjoyed this book but I think it would be much better in physical format where you could highlight sections and you put the lessons into actions. With the audio version I'm going to need to listen again and write out notes. Perhaps there needs to be an accompanying pdf with the audio book with the basic "to do list"?

Underwhelming
After a lot of praise from others I gave this a listen and found it painfully basic. It continuously plagued on and on of rather cliche terms. I'm not certain what I intended to find in this book but I was left very unimpressed.

Useful insight on the essencial act of tidying
Marie Kondo speaks openly of her experience of tidying throughout her life - how her early mistakes turned into achievements thanks to her strive to be better at the thing she loves doing so much -- tidying. Furthermore, she is invested in helping other people achieve the same satisfaction in finding which of our belongings brings us most joy, easily translating into a broader insight on our life. I truly recommend this reading to anyone who is searching for a purpose, whatever it may be.

Konmarie Magic
A delightful audiobook, excellently narrated. I really enjoyed it and have begun implementing the Konmarie method.
Quite cute how she gives inanimate objects a personality and really believes they have feelings and respond. A bit too much for this realist to deal with in some parts but it did illicit the odd smile which made up for it.
Great advice regarding the approach to getting your house in order. I think I’ll be using the term ‘spark joy’ forever.
