The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo

5.0

Okay so I waffled between a 4 and a 5-star rating here. I gave it 5 stars just because even implementing a few of the ideas in here has made my new apartment feel better! Also many of the things that Marie says just click in my head and seem to make sense. I also think it was a combination of the perfect book at the perfect time. After moving (which naturally makes you want to get rid of EVERYTHING) and then living for a month in temporary housing with VERY little stuff... it made me realize just how much we really don't need. I really like this book. I really like the way Marie thinks. I will be implementing parts of her ideas into my home. She's a little spiritual with things but that is okay with me as the organizing tips she has given in this are not complicated and work. Also an easy read. Thanks to this book from now on the phrase "Does it bring you joy" will run through my head every time I am trying to decide if I want something or not.
