The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up

Beyond specifics of how to organize and sort... this book helped me find the inspiration, the larger why, built my confidence in myself and my intuition. This is the shortcut to decision making, love, mission, purpose... the true philosophy of living a beauty, unique love. Thank you for your insight, inspiration, and authenticity!

I’ve been putting off discarding things around my house and storage unit for years. This book helped me to let go of so many things I no longer needed or loved.

Have you ever looked at every knick knack that has a deep dark corner in your self preserving brain and then ask an idiotic, barely beneath skin deep question: Make smile or not make smile? Good job, your read this trash heap of a book. Get rid of things that give you the frown frown and keep the things that make you think of exposing your mouth stones. Read it if you are going to die soon anyway -M Booby Mikey (nah JK) Michael

I didn’t necessarily agree with everything she said, but I am really glad I read this book and her recipe for cleaning. It is easy to read and worth passing along. May all of your belongings spark joy and hold meaning.

Second time reading it. Marie is so precious, and so helpful. Her method changed my view on discarded and helped me know I don’t have to live in clutter. And it’s easier than I think!

Beautiful way to organize your life.

This book transforms not only my life, but also my lifestyle! I had been procrastinating de-cluttering & tidying up our kitchen & dining on our farm for years! In the past ten years, I had tried many ways of de-cluttering & tidying up but the space never lit up with an everlasting joy & beauty. It inevitably returned into disorder, excess, and clutter. Marie Kondo was like the fairy God mother appearing in Cinderella’s life on the night of the Royal Ball! 57 days of inspired clean-up has happened through me. The kitchen/dining turns out to be only a tiny part of it! Our farm is transformed & so am I. I am grateful for the countless lessons I have learnt from reading this book. I had lost track of time. It is as if I claimed the summit, hoisted the flag in joy, and only during the descend did I count the days that had passed me by! I highly recommend that you read this book. It has transformed the chaos in my life into beauty, joy & orderliness. With a heart full of gratitude to Marie Kondo & wishing each one of you much joy and love! Ashwini (🇮🇳From India)

Do yourself a favor and just read this book. If you have any desire to declutter or organize your home, this book is essential reading material. Between this and her second book Spark Joy, I have finally been able to put my house in order and could not be happier!!

This book has had such a transformative effect on my life. I went from someone constantly riddled with anxiety, constantly misplacing items, forgetful etc. My head was a mess, I looked a little bit like a mess, & no surprise- my room was a mess! My closest friends are now reading it and they can brag about what effect it’s had on them as well. Can’t recommend it enough.

If it doesn’t spark joy in my life, it’s not worth keeping around.
