Spark Joy is an a decent book for someone who has decided they want to simplify their life and focus on what matters the most to them. Kondo suggests her method is the best to bring about a "tidy" environment. I am sure her approach can be very effective for someone who has the time and energy to do a massive "tidy up" in one go. I believe there are other methods which happen over a longer period but are less disruption to life if a person can maintain their discipline over an extended period of time. Some of her stories reveal how an immature understanding of her "spark joy" approach can lead to mistakes such as her story of her now broken beloved ruler. I very much appreciated her emphasis of weeding out things that don't matter so you put all your focus on things which help you appreciate life. This book is filled with many useful and practical suggestions about how to tidy up with encouragement about what benefits you will enjoy when you finish tidying up. I believe most people would find The Minimalist Home by Joshua Becker more practical.

Wonderful read! This is my second time and I get so much out of it every time.
Super repetitive until you get to the “encyclopedia” - there was some nice thoughts in that section of the book that sparked ideas for me

100% met my expectations. Super cheesy, but in a good way if you enjoyed KonMarie's first book. Spark Joy is about how to organize your remaining stuff to help you build a home that you'll be enjoy coming home to.
