by Marie Kondo


Marie Kondo is truly a hero to me. She was a shy young Japanese woman, afraid of speaking in public, when she was catapulted to fame and the top of the best-seller list; yet she believed so thoroughly in the life-changing magic of “tidying”, she traveled the world and moved to America to spread her message. For Kondo, this is not about organizing or merely discarding; it’s spiritual, and about respect for all the world, inanimate as well as animate creation. This book is about those aspects of Japanese culture that inform her mindset.
