Averci messo quasi un anno per leggerlo può farvi capire quanto l'abbia amato... *ironia*
Se in principio era Tatsumi, grazie a Marie Kondo allora per averci illustrato meglio questo "mondo". Il libro è terribilmente noioso e prolisso anche a causa della ripetitività e dalla schematizzazione fallimentare che si trova leggendo le pagine.
Il secondo libro della Kondo almeno aveva qualche illustrazione che riempivano le pagine, questo invece è praticamente come il primo libro della Kondo senza illustrazioni e con qualche differenza in merito ai modi di buttare.
Da consigliare solo se proprio volete sapere tutto sul riordino e principalmente su come e cosa buttare.

I didn't like this book but I now have an overwhelming urge to get rid of everything so maybe it worked?

So, this was an interesting read. Im definitely going to take some of the advices in it, however, I think some of these so called "advices" were taken too lightly. While I do agree that one must not place so much value on material stuff and be conscious of what we buy and why, the whole DISCARD IT ALL DON'T PAUSE TO REGRET IT was too much and it got annoying at some point. However, this book does have some interesting tips and time lapses to keep stuff and how to divide responsibility in the tidying up of a household that I'll keep in mind.

This book wasn’t what I was personally looking for. I found the first half to be promising, but it was repetitive towards the end.
Actually, now that I think of it. If this book was half the size I might have given it a four star review..
It was an interesting read anyway.

This book provides a mindset shifting about how to organize stuff in your home. It is inspiring and provides several useful strategies about actions that one can adapt to their own home. I like the inspirational motivation this book gives.

I feel that this book suffers from time; much of the information is very dated (for example, most people know that donating to charity/thrift shops is a good way to send on gently used items). I also can't agree with the author's premise to just throw everything out at the drop of a pin. Seems excessively wasteful and doesn't seem like it would encourage long term habits to prevent waste.
There are great beginning tips in here, but again, I feel almost everyone at this point is aware of them so this book isn't adding anything to the overall narrative.

Er zaten hier en daar zeker relevante tips tussen want tussendoor begon ik ijverig zaken weg te doen (waar blijft al dat gerief vandaan komen?), maar over het algemeen gaat het boek wel heel kort door de bocht over weggooien.
Daarnaast is deze editie achterhaald ('man des huizes' en 'de huisvrouw', jaren '50 are calling) en verre van milieuvriendelijk ('we moeten niet langer recyclen, maar alle afval verbranden' en 'maak je niet te veel zorgen over het afvalprobleem en breek je hoofd niet over al te nauwkeurige afvalscheiding' - dat zou er bij een nieuwe editie niet meer doorkomen). Heel wat van de tips zijn ook specifiek op Japan gericht, jammer dat hier niet naar gekeken werd bij het vertalen / lokaliseren.

I'm in the process of adapting to a more minimalistic lifestyle & mindset mostly for convenience & aesthetic. This is a very useful and practical guide to initiate changes, but if you've already made the necessary decisions it might not help much. For instance even though I have read a couple of books on minimalism, I surely learnt from this one a few new things, that had not crossed my mind until now.
I was also bothered a bit by how wasteful some of her suggestions sounded to be, but later on there were one or two chapters dedicated to recycling, upcycling, second-hand shops and donations so I guess that saved the day, eventually.
Lastly, I must mention that this book was the inspiration for Marie Kondo's book, which is also on my reading list.
3.5 Stars
