Lines from this book made it clear that it was written for someone else:
-Are there things in your house gasping for air? Listen closely to what each one is trying to tell you.
-Discover the joy of fermentation.
-I wipe the floor of my entranceway with a well-rung damp rag. (every day!)
-Perhaps your shoes converse with their neighbors, your socks or stockings, while you wearing them. "It sure is hot today," your shoes might say.
"Yes, positively steamy. Hang in there," the socks might respond.
But privately, your shoes must be thinking, "At least you get to freshen up by being washed every time you're worn."
...
That's why I adopted the habit of wiping the soles of my shoes before bed or first thing in the morning when I wipe down my entranceway.
-If you make a habit of wiping the soles of your shoes, you may find that special things happen to you...
-Cleaning the floor is a time for meditation. ... I actually like cleaning the floors, so sometimes I still get down and polish the floor as a form of enjoyable exercise.
-If your home had a personality, what kind of person would it be?
This book didn't spark joy, but it did make me wonder who its intended audience was.

There was a lot of recycled material from Marie Kondo's other books in here, but the pictures were lovely and I enjoyed the peek into how Marie lives her own life. I do like the correlation between keeping things tidy and living your dream life. It seemed like a false gimmick at first, but she seems to really emphasize more that you should be thinking about what sparks joy in your life, and adapt your surroundings to support that joyful lifestyle. This was an important piece that I think might have been overlooked in The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up.
I was hoping for another adorable Marie Kondo book and this disappointed. It was all fluff you’ve read in her other books.
I saw another review say its best as a physical copy book and I would agree. I listened to the audiobook and it would be better to pick up and skim. But overall, just stick with her other books
