Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin

Live in a clean and clutter-free home forever with the life-changing KonMari Method - now a multi-million copy international best seller.

Transform your home into a permanently clear and clutter-free space with the incredible KonMari Method. Japan's expert declutterer and professional cleaner Marie Kondo will help you tidy your rooms once and for all with her inspirational step-by-step method.

The key to successful tidying is to tackle your home in the correct order, to keep only the things you really love and to do it all at once - and quickly. After that for the rest of your life you need only to choose what to keep and what to discard.

The KonMari Method will not just transform your space. Once you have your house in order, you will find that your whole life will change. You can feel more confident, you can become more successful, and you can have the energy and motivation to create the life you want. You will also have the courage to move on from the negative aspects of your life: you can recognise and finish a bad relationship; you can stop feeling anxious; you can finally lose weight.

Marie Kondo's method is based on a 'once cleaned, never messy again' approach. If you think that such a thing is impossible, then you should definitely listen to this compelling audiobook.

Actually Life Changing

I have read this text and wasn't sure how it would translate to audible but it does so seamlessly. This book has changed my life & continues to influence my every day choices & actions. Way better than the Netflix series (although I also enjoyed that)

Life changing

This couldn’t have come onto my radar at a more appropriate time in my life. Contemplating moving once again I have learnt a valuable life lesson about the magical art of tidying and reducing the “stuff” we accumulate and how it clutters our home and our lives. Marie does this as a career helping people and we can all benefit from her information. Well worth a read.
