laurieb755 's review for:
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up
by Marie Kondo
This was a difficult book for me to read verbatim.
Marie Kondo does provide useful, practical advice about how to tidy one's home. Her philosophic approach as to why this is beneficial: a tidy home, filled with objects that evoke love and delight in the heart, will lead to a life that is equally satisfying and filled with love and delight.
Reading a few pages of this was mildly interesting. Reading 200 pages was like being super-saturated with sappiness. Hence, my eventual page scanning. Kondo made this fairly easy to do as periodically there were bold faced sentences that highlighted her points; the remainder was non-essential.
IF you are looking to reorganize your life, perhaps this is a useful starting point for one approach to finding calm. I was under the impression Marie Kondo's text would discuss feng shui, which was the initial appeal of borrowing the book from my local library, as I am curious to understand more about feng shui - its esthetics and philosophic underpinings. Indeed, if anyone has any book suggestions related to feng shui perhaps you will be able to note that in a comment. Thanks, if you do!
