The Art of Discarding: How to Get Rid of Clutter and Find Joy by Nagisa Tatsumi

3.0

This is the book that inspired Maria Kondo and her Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I definitely could see a lot of similarities between the two and a lot of the ideas that Kondo built on. There were also a few things that Kondo had clearly changed or discarded. Overall I definitely liked Kondo's method better, but for those who just can't deal with her weird personification of objects this book might go over better while containing many similarly helpful ideas.
