Slim down your possessions: borrow this one from the library submitted by willow on July 7, 2016, 7:18pm Is this book really that different from Marie Kondo's first book? Not by much. There are more clothes-folding diagrams, and there seems to be a greater emphasis on keeping things you love, versus getting rid of things that you don't. The tone is much more positive and significantly less harsh.

If you can only read one, which would seem to be important when not duplicating books, read this one. From the library. Your hold will eventually be filled.

Marie would approve of the library submitted by jessNU on August 5, 2019, 12:16am This book isn't that too much different from the first one - however, there is some more detail (folding, storage, etc.). Asking whether things "spark joy"has changed how I buy and allowed me to have a more organized home. I recommend all of her books!

spark joy submitted by crp on August 25, 2019, 3:38pm if you life your life like this, you'll weed out a lot of stuff. i preferred karen kingtson's clearing your clutter with feng shui as it goes into the "why" more than this book does.

Life-Changing Magic from a different angle submitted by terpsichore17 on June 15, 2020, 12:50pm I second willow - borrow this from the library, especially if you need clothes-folding diagrams.

The main benefit of this book is to keep the energy up mid-tidying festival.
