In this long-awaited follow-up to the New York Times bestseller, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Japanese organizing consultant Marie Kondo offers a detailed, illustrated guide to her famous KonMari method, which includes how to organize specific items, along with detailed instructions on folding and answers to her followers' questions about how to declutter and spread joy once and for all. In "Spark Joy," Marie Kondo offers a detailed, illustrated guide on how to declutter and organize specific items in the home, from kitchen and bathroom items to work papers and hobby collections. The simple illustrations depict Kondo's folding technique, which can be applied to shirts, pants, socks, and jackets, in addition to images of neatly organized drawers and closets. In this context, Kondo also offers advice on how to deal with those items that don't bring us joy, but are still essential to our lives, and why the decision to wait to move is not an excuse for delaying organizing the house. Whether you're new to the KonMari Method or an experienced tidying expert, this book is essential for anyone who wants to live a tidier, simpler, and more joyful life. Kondo tells you, "Remember, you don't choose what to throw away, but what to keep. Keep only the things that bring you joy, and when you throw away something that doesn't bring you a moment of joy, don't forget to thank it before saying goodbye. By getting rid of things that were in your life, with a sense of gratitude, you enhance your appreciation for the things in your life and increase your desire to care for them." More than eight million copies of Kondo's publications have been sold worldwide, and her books have achieved bestsellers on four continents. Marie Kondo has become the leading authority on tidying, folding, and organizing. Her name has even become a verb used to refer to neatly arranging or folding (such as "I tidy my socks today"). This book is both practical and inspiring. KonMari's practical method of decluttering and organizing has positively impacted readers all over the world, and remains unique in the market due to its unique combination of philosophy and practical approach.
