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.
A great companion to her first book and way more thorough. The illustrations are absolutely adorable!
Expertly fills in all the gaps missing in her first volume.
To get to the heart of her philosophy the first book is great. But I disliked some of the random personal judgements she threw in. This book seems far more professional and helpful overall. It has useful storage tips, diagrams for folding anything (if you want that), and more. I got a lot out of it and had some storage space epiphanies I'm excited to try out.
Such a great practical book that will hopefully inspire the reader to tidy the environment in order to bring joy.

This book was amazing in guiding someone in living a comfortable life at home where you can set your mind in a sense of control over your surroundings. I have grown to love my living space despite it being small. It is refreshing to be able to revamp your home in a way that makes it easier to breathe mentally. I also found alternatives for furniture where I can hold more items and save space. It would be great for those who never learned how to care for themselves when young. Thank you, Marie Kondo, <3
This is SO not for me!
This, on the other hand... The Life-Changing Magic of Decluttering in a Post-Apocalyptic World
This, on the other hand... The Life-Changing Magic of Decluttering in a Post-Apocalyptic World
Remember last year, when everyone you know – and everyone they know – was reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up? I was one of those people. My husband and I really pared down out belongings at a serendipitous time; not a month later we received notice that we had to move, so it was much easier to pack our two-bedroom apartment up with 11 days’ notice after having taken over two carloads of belongings to Goodwill.
We continue to tidy following this method, for the most part, but we’ve moved into a new house, which came with many more places for stuff to accumulate. When I saw this sort-of-sequel was being released, I figured I’d want to read it. And I *think* I’m glad I did. But I’m not sure.
My hesitation is that I’m not entirely sure this book is necessary. It does have some good tips, and some cute illustrations (the little bunny in the pictures is adorable). But I think that a lot of this could have been worked into the original book. I totally get it; she struck gold, and her publishers likely wanted to capitalize on that. They got me, and as we go for another round of making sure we’re really sticking with only keeping things that ‘spark joy,’ this will probably come in handy.

En ala viikkaamaan alushousuja mutta sen tämä sai aikaan että minulla on nyt puolet kaapeista tyhjinä. Tarvitsenko todella kymmenen lakanaa ja kuusi kattilaa? En. Olipa vapauttavaa kantaa tavaraa kierrätykseen.
Although I don't think I've executed the book's guidelines to completion or perfection, I do think that I have decluttered, cleansed, and tidied up my life. Reading this book, I felt a little self conscious knowing that I was breaking so many small "rules" but I also remembered that sometimes you just need to do your best, and be fully proud and accepting of what you can do, instead of guilty for what you didn't do. At this point, I have reduced and stored my belongings, but I haven't re inserted joy. My wall art is still in the closet and we have no plants. The books are not quite on the bookcase, and things are certainly missing. I am so close to having a space that really sparks joy!
