The author, who means well, suggests I purge my life of all things that do not bring me joy. With apologies, I must begin with this book. ( ) She found her passion at age 5 It is so delightful to read a book by someone who is not only an expert on their subject, but is also in love with what they do. It was fascinating that she went through many erroneous methods before she found that one should keep only those possessions which they love, only those that which brings joy. * Don't rush into it * Does it spark joy * Start with the easy stuff (first clothes, books, ... sentimental value last) * Bring everything (in the category) into one place * Decide what to keep * Store things standing up While my Spiritual beliefs don't align at all with the author's, I do believe there is something to be said about your living space and the level that you are able to focus and thrive. I recently moved abroad, and know firsthand the freedom that downsizing gives you. Before reading the book, I had naturally adopted some of the practices that Marie Kondo writes about, but have gone back through my clothing and books to see if what I own truly gives me joy. I also implemented her folding method and have already seen a change in the way that I handle my clothes. no reviews | add a review
