The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo,
translated by Cathy Hirano, is a non-fiction book on the topic of cleaning and organizing.
I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. I really liked this book. The tone is encouraging, excited
and hopeful. It had a lot of good information and advice. This method looks
promising and I came away eager to put much of it into practice. It most
definitely helps to supplement the reading with youtube vidoes that give a
visual aid in understanding her method of folding clothes (especially necessary
for visual learners like myself).
The only aspect I didn’t really like was the
“spiritualistic” quality that she lightly incorporates throughout the book and
focuses more on in a later small section toward the end. I do agree with her
idea that we should cultivate gratitude for our things and not just as a whole
group but for the individual items; but of course that gratitude is towards God
our provider (for the physical items, inspiration for their creation, etc.) not
to be expressed toward that item itself.
If you can look past her spiritual take on things and focus
on her tidying methods themselves, than I highly recommend this book.
