I love Marie Kondo!
This book is a follow up to tidying up. It does talk about her method a bit (I skipped those small sections as I've read her other two books), but most of it is about reflecting on your picture of an ideal home and lifestyle and making your home fit that.
A lot of beautiful pictures of Japanese minimalist interiors.
I was not too bothered about the few recipes Kondo included, nor her sections on family life since I don't have a family. So I read it all in one day.
My key takeaway was after or during tidying up, envision your ideal home. That can help you understand that 'spark joy' feeling and garner it in your home continually, not just in the tidying up process. I also like her comment that you should let your belongings talk to you, they will tell you if they are happy where they are stored etc.
Some of her advice is quite specific, includes wiping entrance everyday, having something the sparks joy in your view when you wake up and enter the house, and even storing toilet paper. Some tips I'll definitely take on board.
