I always expect to have a snarky reaction to Marie Kondo’s books but the fact is, they are extremely soothing to read. Even though I will probably never actually do her method, the books make it feel like it would be easy to do, and it’s just... really nice to read about.

Ich hab ja meine Klamotten bereits im Kondo-Stil gefaltet und gestellt. Der Erkenntnisgewinn dieses Buches lässt sich allerdings auf 2 Seiten zusammenfassen, maximal. Der Rest ist eher einfältiges Geplapper, so simpel wie für einen Fünfjährigen, der an die Zahnfee glaubt. Stellenweise fragte ich mich, ob die Übersetzung einfach schlecht ist oder die Gute professionelle Hilfe braucht.

I liked her first book better but this is a great follow-up for someone like me who enjoys having Very Specific guidelines to adhere to in a task. This book will definitely be very helpful.
Marie Kondo is just the sweetest, I love her energy and her spirit.

I did enjoy this book, however I found it to be very similar and repetitive of her Other book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up.

Me gustó mucho más que el primer libro. Incluye tips más prácticos y concretos de cómo ordenar. Me gusta la filosofía de darles valor a los objetos que nos rodean, pero me incomodó un poco (y encontré un poco charlatán) que insista tanto en que es una solución mágica a todos los problemas de la vida

If you are a Marie Kondo acolyte, this book ramps up the pace several notches. I am now deeply inspired to reconfigure the spaces within my storage spaces, especially in my kitchen and bedroom dresser. Also, Kondo's point about the books is a great challenge for an English major who has hung on to so many books and needs to start letting only those that spark joy remain in the house.
