The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
2.0
Way to judge people who wear sweatpants, Marie!
I have no issues with spark joy or having relationships with objects or limiting your stockpile of toothbrushes, but some of the crazy crap that the author threw in this book was so baffling that I was a mix of bemused and amused. Such as the huge loss of living without knowing how to properly fold. The odd bragging about reading home magazines at age 5. The anecdotal evidence.
I like the concept of spark joy, but the entire read had me thinking that this book could have been written so much better, if only Marie had a better translator and a better editor. And that it could have been a lot shorter. One page: "Like = keep"
