<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> This translation first published: Great Britain: Ebury, 2014. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES </i>BESTSELLER - The book that sparked a revolution and inspired the hit Netflix series <i>Tidying Up with Marie Kondo</i> the original guide to decluttering your home once and for all.</b> <p/><b>ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE--CNN</b> <p/>Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of noodles? <p/>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). <p/>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. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <p>"Ms. Kondo delivers her tidy manifesto like a kind of Zen nanny, both hortatory and animistic."<b>--<i>The New York Times</i></b> <p/>"A literal how-to-heave-ho, and I recommend it for anyone who struggles with the material excess of living in a privileged society.
