The Art of Discarding

How to Get Rid of Clutter and Find Joy

De: Nagisa Tatsumi

Narrado por: Karen Cass

The book that inspired Marie Kondo's The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Nagisa Tatsumi's international bestseller offers a practical plan to figure out what to keep and what to discard so you can get--and stay--tidy, once and for all.

Practical and inspiring, The Art of Discarding (the book that originally inspired a young Marie Kondo to start cleaning up her closets) offers hands-on advice and easy-to-follow guidelines to help readers learn how to finally let go of stuff that is holding them back -- as well as sage advice on acquiring less in the first place. Author Nagisa Tatsumi urges us to reflect on our attitude to possessing things and to have the courage and conviction to get rid of all the stuff we really don't need, offering advice on how to tackle the things that pile up at home and take back control. By learning the art of discarding you will gain space, free yourself from "accumulation syndrome," and find new joy and purpose in your clutter-free life.

Actionable and Logical

Actionable ideas and the reasoning behind why some of us have difficulty discarding items, especially emotional attachment

Still relevant

Learned about this book through Marie Kondo’s work and really glad I got this perspective to add to all the wonderful suggestions Marie Kondo puts forward. Nagisa’s style and voice is fresh and gives good perspective and practical advice to add to my repertoire of minimizing my things and finding joy in my life and home!

Chapters seem to have been cut short

The reader ended one chapter in mid sentence! And then proceeded on to the next chapter.
