The life changing magic of Tidying up

22318578
From Goodreads info:
Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of noodles?
Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you'll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever. The KonMari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category system, leads to lasting results. In fact, none of Kondo's clients have lapsed (and she still has a three-month waiting list).
With detailed guidance for determining which items in your house "spark joy" (and which don't), this international best seller featuring Tokyo's newest lifestyle phenomenon will help you clear your clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home - and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.

My thoughts: Some basic ideas but when she got into thanking your clothes for the good work they have done for you as you discard them I started to giggle.
Then when she said you needed to touch every one of your books to wake them up and give part of your energy I smirked.
Then she said she got rid of over 200 books and encourages clients to do the same then I stopped liking her ideas.

This is a pass...basically to tidy up you look at an item and ask Does this bring me joy? if yes you keep it if no you toss it.
