Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up by Marie Kondo

3.0

“When you tidy, you gain a little confidence. You start to believe in the future. Things begin to go more smoothly. The people you meet change. Unexpected things happen in a positive way. Changes begins to accelerate. And you begin to really enjoy your life.”

I read Marie Kondo’s first book last year and I loved her philosophy on the Magic of Tidying Up. I think Marie is revolutionary and explains how tidying is so much more than just organising your home. It wasn’t until Netflix released their new series on New Year’s Day this year that I realised I never got round to reading her second book. The book is good, but I do think the first one was better. This one has little doodles and diagrams in, which is hugely useful. I think it was probably unnecessary to write two books - both of them could have been combined to make one bigger book and that would have worked fine. But Marie Kondo is great and if you haven’t watched her Netflix show yet, do it!
