Joy at Work: Organizing Your Professional Life by Scott Sonenshein, Marie Kondo
2.0
Note: I received a free e-ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my review.
I appreciated the application of the KonMari method to work items, especially in a way that one might not think about it, such as with meetings, teams, networks, digital items, etc. This is a useful book but if you've already read Marie Kondo's other works, you could probably apply it here without reading the book. However, if you haven't and you're struggling with your work, this provides a pretty comprehensive overview of everything. This book felt like it was trying to be the next breakthrough self-help work related book, but it falls kind of flat. It raises good questions and concerns but I didn't feel like it broke through anything new.
