This #1 New York Times best-selling guide to decluttering your home from Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes readers step by step through her revolutionary KonMari Method for simplifying, organizing, and storing.

Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of noodles?

The KonMari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category system, ends up in lasting results. In truth, none of Kondo’s clients have lapsed (and she still has a three-month waiting list). 

With detailed guidance for determining which items in your home “spark joy” (and which don’t), this international bestseller featuring Tokyo’s newest way of life phenomenon will can help you clear your clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home—and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.
