Ever felt like you have to constantly tidy up just to maintain a lasting order in your living space? Do your papers continue to pile up like walls threatening to close in on you? Do your garments continue to heap up like an impassable mountain of interwoven fabric? Then perhaps you're doing it wrong.

Marie Kondo, world-renowned Japanese author and tidying consultant, introduces you to a technique of organizing you have never known before. This innovative way of tidying promises that you will only ever have to do it once—you will never have to tidy up again. Other home-organizing techniques promote tidying by location. What people do not know is that it will take you inordinate amounts of time to sort through your belongings if you implement such methods. Marie Kondo's technique—the KonMari method—is a type of progressive organization that boasts long-lasting results. Countless success stories and a three-month waiting list can attest to the effectiveness of the KonMari technique.

Marie Kondo's The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up gives an in depth set of instructions for determining which of your belongings spark joy and which simply do not. A bestseller in several countries, this book highlights the new trend that has taken Tokyo by storm. Come home to a place free of clutter, and discover the wonders of a tidy home.
