In The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Japanese organizational consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly declutter your home once, you'll never have to do it again. With a practical yet philosophical approach, Marie guides readers through her patented KonMari Method, a category-by-category approach to efficient tidying. Urging readers to tackle decluttering head on instead of one day at a time, tidying can become a “special event” rather than a monotonous recurring “daily chore.”

Marie “KonMari” Kondo runs an acclaimed consulting business in Tokyo helping clients transform their cluttered homes into spaces of serenity and inspiration. With a three-month waiting list, her KonMari Method of decluttering and organizing has become an international phenomenon.
