4.0

I read the first KonMari book a while ago, and have had this on my list for almost as long, so I was pleased to get it as one of my Christmas presents. The book is lovely, and is likely more accessible to Western readers than the first one, as well as being more practical with more detailed explanations and illustrations of the folding and other techniques she espouses. I particularly liked the anecdotes about KonMari's life and career in helping others tidy, and I found the book inspiring in a similar manner to how I found the first one.

If you take issue with minimalism, tidying up, anthropomorphism, or general slightly weird/woo techniques, this is not the book for you. However, if you're intrigued by the idea of only surrounding yourself with possessions that spark joy while setting the rest free to move on in their own journeys, you might find this as interesting and inspiring as I do.
