The effects were remarkable: Sasaki gained true freedom, new focus, and a real sense of gratitude for everything around him.

At age 30, best friends Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus walked away from their six-figure corporate careers, jettisoned most of their material possessions, and started focusing on what's truly important.

Are you tired of feeling f*cked up? If you are, Gary John Bishop has the answer. In this straightforward handbook, he gives you the tools and advice you need to demolish the slag weighing you down and become the truly unf*cked version of yourself. "Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f*cking miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, real women with real families who are constantly growing and changing simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is a home that 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.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Life-changing.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to a friend who has too many things and too little "life". The author is telling about "the life-changing magic of tidying up" and I feel like almost every adult needs to know more about it.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It was definitely the book I wanted to listen in one sitting as I wanted to follow all the advises as soon as possible!

Felt like a self-assertive autobiography
I was looking forward to the hyped "domestic wisdom" of the book. I was however, disappointed after the first chapter. While the book starts you off with a very motivational chapter, it gets very repetitive and pushy right after that. I had to power through to finish the book infact because the material was beginning to sound so stretched out and unnecessarily lengthened. The narrator did an amazing job in every aspect, but the material *of* the book was intolerable due to the amount of boasting and self-assertion that was overbearingly repeated over and over again. All in all, I walked away with just two benefits: motivation to complete a decluttering process I had already started and a new way to fold and arrange clothes in drawers which I find to be aesthetically pleasing. If you wish to take tips and pointers, I would recommend one of the summaries available on Audible or hopping onto youtube for a quick search on decluttering the Marie Kondo way. You will get everything you need to know from either minus the boring stories, insufferable reptitiveness, and bragging.

While the book may be termed as flaky and woo woo by some, there's a deep truth, gratitude, respect, and self knowledge embedded in this book. Loved it and loved Kondo's authenticity. Have started KonMari-ing!

Good read — More than learning how to tidy
The book emphasises on finding your ideal lifestyle, practice gratitude and decision making through tidying. It is a very mindful book and I would definitely try out her method.
I hope it focus a little bit more on storage methods though.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying to be better than the print version?
Bought the book weeks ago but it took me getting it on Audible to get me started. Finished it in two days and have since filled my car with old clothes and books - home already looks and feels better - looking forward to carrying on decluttering tomorrow.

It's the first book that I've ever returned- it's not credible in my mind, when the author started conversing with inanimate objects and projecting personalities onto them, objects such as her socks and handbags I knew that I was listening to the delusional ramblings of an obsessive- save yourself the pain and avoid this one

Useful tips, worth a read
Good tips on how to focus on genuinely clearing clutter and reassessing the value and sentiment we place on so many things we feel we can't part with, but are ultimately deadweight to our lives and homes. I disliked the use of 'throw it away' that she stressed so much - please recycle and drop off at charity shops as and where you can!! It's also originally a Japanese book so has some text specific to them but not too much. I've already started to Marie Kondo my house so it must've sparked something!!!

If you were interested in the book you will love it!
If like me you have heard of the Kon Marie method of tidying and getting your house in order, then you will really enjoy this book. Of course the author has become world famous and some of the methods may seem a little strange, but I certainly loved every minute of this beautifully narrated book.

please buy this book
One word: incredible. If you want your home environment to be immaculate then listen to this book NOW! Marie's passionate words are informative and provide a great outlook on living. These 4 hours have truly taught me to live in the present, extinguish my day-to-day fears and be appreciative of what I have.

A different approach to tidying
I purchased this book as it's sparked my curiosity as I am always tidying and was hoping for a miracle. I started applying the methods detailed in the book to organise my home whilst still reading the book and was pleasantly surprised to how it made me feel about my possessions. The book is well laid out, easy to follow and I would recommend to anyone who wants to declutter their home. The author takes you through the process in small stages and it is actually enjoyable!

reorganised my entire life because of this book!
listened to it twice, then put the words into action- it's definitely a method that works and a lot better for converting normies to minimalists than most others I've read.

Fab author!
What a quirky author! Lovely content. purchased it on Sunday morning, before getting half way through the book I had gotten rid of 70% of my clothes, she is THAT persuasive! I put them into large bags and dropped them off at the charity store before I'd even finished the book. Now for the make up and books to rummage through!
Lovely stories, great content and tips. Soothing narration. Just what I needed.

interesting, and an easy "read" (or listen)
this book was interesting to listen to. I very much enjoyed the first few chapters though as it went on it got more and more kooky as far as what the author believes about inanimate objects. I'm an open minded person to a point but I definitely cannot bring myself to believe that my socks have feelings. however, I was able to take from it many good points, and I also connected her interesting view on things, to my own belief that we should appreciate everything we have and treat our items with respect. the information on actual tidying itself, was very good. even if you think you might disagree with her almost spiritual approach towards non-living things, I'd still recommend.it,it's worth reading this book for the great perspective on how to get your house in order. I still got a lot out of the book. the narrator was great, easy to listen to, even relaxing.

Some unique ideas that make sense
I have to admit that some of Marie's ideas made me laugh or roll my eyes but she makes a good case for them and they are quite different to anything else I've read about decluttering and organising so I'm willing to give them a try. The book was actually a delight to listen to, Marie's unique, eccentric & fun personality shine through along with the great practical advice.

I feel empowered to tackle my clutter
I have listened to this audiobook twice now. As I have started the Konmari method, I have found it enjoyable to listen to her audiobook whilst aiming to declutter my house.
Although I enjoyed the audiobook, I found it only possible to use her method of folding by watching YouTube videos as it is difficult to follow these instructions by verbal explanation alone.

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.

brilliant
A brilliantly simple, achievable, but thoroughly effective guide to de-cluttering your home, and your life! Marie Kondo's passion for tidying translates beautifully, and makes you re-consider the concept of being tidy.
