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.

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 featuring Tokyo's newest lifestyle phenomenon will help you clear your clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home--and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.

As I read this book, I told my friends about it. While the writer seems fanatical at times, and I didn't follow the instructions to the letter, the procedures helped me to get rid of piles of unwanted possessions and to keep those that bring me joy. At first, the process was difficult, but after a while, there was space in the closets, space in the house, and space in my mind. Marie Kondo's philosophy of gratitude was my favorite section of the book. I realized that being grateful for what I have, rather than being resentful, is a key to happiness.

I am now partway into my process of tidying up and find my experience to be similar to others' who are using Marie's method. It works! I have already told many friends and family about Marie's book and YouTube videos.
