This book is a thousand times better than her first. It has practical advise on HOW to tidy and she seems to have lost the edgy I-know-all-the-answers tone. Skip The Life-Changing Joy of Tidying up, but this is a must read!

Well this was a wild ride. I shifted from This lady is crazy when she said throw out your hammer if it doesn't give you joy, to starting to get her towards the end. It makes sense. Keep what you love, get rid of what you don't. The idea of covering the faces of pictures and stuffed animals was odd to me as well as much of the idea that we must thank things. But in all I can see why she's so popular.

Actually I found this more interesting than the original book, she's a lot more tolerant of stuff than you think, her idea is that you should surround yourself with joy instead of stress and that clutter is a cause of stress for a lot of people. I would adapt it for myself with a "stop buying crap" and "stop tolerating crap" but sometimes you have to, still it's an ambition.

She works on how to fold things, how to store things and how to get yourself started and working at this, I think some of it is inspiring but some of it is cranky-making for me.

Although the book has some really helpful tips, but it has a lot of repetition. This book could be abridged to the half number of pages i guess. Also it has some unnecessary anecdotes that doesn't give a benefit tp the reader.
