Мари Кондо безспорно попада някъде в лекия спектър на аутизма и/или обсесивно-компулсивните разстройства, но както се казва, не е важно дали котката е черна или бяла, а дали лови мишки. И когато става дума за подреждане и чистене, трудно ще намерите някой по-добър от тоя тип хора.
КонМари системата, която тя е измислила и представя в първата си книга наистина отваря очите и може да ви помогне да сложите дома си в ред и да ви мотивира да се отървете от много излишни вещи, които го задръстват, въпреки склонността на мацката да гушка сгънатите си пуловери и да обяснява удоволствието, което я пронизвало докато си подрежда чорапите.
Настоящата книга й е втората и е нещо като практически наръчник, който да е допълнение към първата, по-скоро концептуална книга. Описани са всички видове вещи по категории и как точно да подреждаме всяка от тях, както и различните жилищни помещения. Има някои добри попадения, но като цяло ако човек се е запознал и разбрал концепцията от първата книга, подобни детайлни инструкции са ненужни в повечето случаи.

Easy to read book about changing the mindset of how you view your possessions. Looking forward to going through the process, which may or may not take a long time.
Fairly redundant if you read her other book, but it does go into more detail with diagrams about how exactly to store things.
Spark Joy takes the ideas and strategies of Kondō's first book and made them feel more practical, giving lots of examples of different ways to apply the same technique. Quick read, and cute illustrations. I could see myself going back to this book more than the first (especially since she recaps the principles from the first one in the introductory matter here).
I'll admit to skimming this book. It's a continuation of the by-now-universally-read [b:The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing|22318578|The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing|Marie Kondō|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1418767178s/22318578.jpg|41711738], with more concrete advice.
There is a tone of self-congratulation in both books that I find faintly off-putting. I also find the brand message to be exceptionally strong, as if the author was planning a future line of organizing tools that will go with the book's handy dandy instructions. Is there useful advice here? Yes, but it's not the most compelling read.

Very Japanese, but I did try her suggested method of folding on my last load of laundry. The next two months we have a big project of emptying out our living room and even though I can't follow her method entirely I'm going to use the basic ideas to do it because I believe it's going to work. The idea of focusing on what you're keeping in your life rather than on what you're decluttering makes sense and I like her idea of going in stages. Starting with items that are fairly easy to make decisions on first. The version of the book I have had illustrations on how to fold so the folding instructions were extremely easy to follow. I was a little surprised she didn't give instructions on folding linens too.
Yes, the folding into squares and organizing clothes by color is a bit much, but I like a lot of the other ideas, like keeping only those things that spark joy.
I liked this one better than the first, as far as practical guides for going through your things. The first book is good for catching the vision though. More of the same cultural differences—things that are foreign in concept to me (like thanking my items and thinking of how they must feel), but I think they are easy to look past and see the wisdom in her methods/general ideas.
Maybe I should have read the first book, or maybe I'm too organized to begin with, but I didn't learn much new other than how to fold. However, if I can take away anything from this book, it's that I will from now on be asking myself if something "sparks joy" when deciding whether or not to keep it.
