"Kondo’s way of anthropomorphizing belongings and paying them the respect of taking them out of the closet for a proper dismissal makes a big difference. . . . consider me a Konvert."—Chloe Malle, Vogue

"If you wanted more from her first book, this is what you've been waiting for."—MindBodyGreen

"In her new organizational how-to book, Kondo's mission is to help us identify what brings joy while simultaneously cultivating more of it."—Los Angeles Times

"I'm an evangelist for Marie Kondo, the Japanese organizational guru whose unique tidying techniques have become a worldwide sensation. I've read both of her books and completed the full decluttering/reorganizing program in six months. In the last year, it has been my favorite thing to bring up to my friends, co-workers, heck, even distant cousins. I am obsessed, because it really has transformed my living space and shattered many of my bad habits related to tidying."—PopSugar

"From the perfect underwear drawer, to how to store socks, Marie Kondo is helping the world to properly (and lovingly) store their most beloved possessions, one fold at a time."—Bustle

Over the past few decades, feminism and the women's rights movement have made tremendous strides, giving women greater opportunities in multiple areas and even confronting inclusivity issues within the movement itself. While there is still much work to be done, it is important for women to acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments of the brave, resilient activists who worked to make it happen. If you're looking for inspiration, look no further.

Would you listen to Spark Joy again? Why?

I think I would listen to it again. I am definitely having my wife listen to it on our devices. And my children are young, but I'm creating my audible.com library on the presumption that it will draw my then older children to it, the same way my parent's book shelves drew me in.

What did you like best about this story?

People>things.

What about Sumalee Montano’s performance did you like?

The recording felt very stern. I'm not sure if the book would read that way, but for what it's worth, the stern tone seemed to keep me awake and listening.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was extremely skeptical of her premise: only keep things that cause you joy in your house and your life will be more joyful. But in the months since I've listened to this book, I have felt a difference in the way I treat the things in my house. My experience: our house isn't very cluttered; we cull now and then; I did a version of the clothes step in the book about 3 weeks before reading it. I was still able to learn a little from the step after and pared down the closet a bit more. But the principal still held. Also, while I was listening, I could think of a couple of T-shirts I owned that brought me joy without even touching them.It's super quick too. The learning of the skills she describes. We didn't have a problem in our house but we also weren't thinking about our things the accumulation too carefully either. We like it; her philosophy works for us.It was Christmas time when I was listening to this (and it has definitely made me a more considerate gift giver) so when she talked about bringing things that bring you joy out of hiding, I was thinking about an ornament that really does bring me joy and how it was on the tree. When we were packing up the ornaments, I made sure to snatch it and it's on my tie rack and when I get dressed in the morning it is noce to see hanging there.

Probably not in the target market but great book

Loved it! listened to it after finishing the first book. This one is more practical for ppl with kids. It clarifies things. It gets to the nitty gritty without all the stories from the first book. It still has stories but they are shorter and relate to the category she's discussing.

Practical and inspiring

I learned so much from this book. I have applied many of Marie Kondo's techniques, and I have to say, they work. My home and my life feel less stressed.

Awesome Book

I decided to dive right in, and follow the books as closely as I could, and half way through the process, I'm already calmer, my thoughts are clearer, and I'm actually able to do small little projects I was some how never able to even start - like put glow in the dark stars on my ceiling lol. I fully recommend this book to everyone, except those that don't respond to any reform, rehabilitation, or therapy of any kind haha, because, duh.

No joke, it is life changing
