An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up


Tidy Up for Inner Peace

by David Meyer

Best-selling decluttering expert Marie Kondo offers a detailed, illustrated guide to her singular method for tidying up your home and soul.

Marie Kondo’s New York Times bestseller The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up created a worldwide, cult-like following of “Konverts” and led to her starring in the hit Netflix series Tidying Up. Her “KonMari” tidying method turns out to be more of a spiritual quest than a practical housekeeping guide, though it functions as that, too. In this sequel, the decluttering guru provides a detailed, illustrated guide to help you navigate every step of your tidying journey.

Tidying is naturally contagious, but if you try to force it on someone else, you’ll only be met with harsh resistance.Marie Kondo

The New York Times called Kondo “perhaps the world’s only decluttering celebrity.” ArchitecturalDigest.com wrote that Kondo “goes deep into the details…the result is inescapable: a home, and a vision of life, that truly sparks joy.” The Wall Street Journal said that Kondo’s voice “is by turns stern and enchanted, like a fairy godmother for socks.”
