In another anecdote, Kondo made fun of one of her clients who had a large amount of toilet paper (unused) store in her house. In another story, she talks about tidying up her own stuff and pushing off the clothes she didn't want to her sister so she wouldn't have to throw them away. If someone noticed this was happening and confronted her, she lied to them about it. In one anecdote, Kondo writes about going through her family member's belongings and disposing of items she thought they didn't need anymore. She seems obsessed with things, tidying things, and disposing of things. I feel like the author doesn't really have a lot of respect for people. I would never listen to anything by Marie Kondo again. Would you ever listen to anything by Marie Kondo again? If you are only allotted a certain amount of trash/recycling per week, you may have trouble following the guidance from this book. The author describes many clients who disposed of 20+ trash bags. Also, if you'd like to follow the advise in this book, you will need to have the luxury of being able to dispose of large quantities of items at once. There really isn't a lot there, and it was pretty disappointing. I think someone who doesn't mind repetition and little substance would enjoy this book. This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Oftentimes narrators butcher foreign words, but Emily did a fantastic job. She did a superb job especially pronouncing Japanese words. Her approach to life - surround yourself with things (and people for that matter) that "spark joy" - so easy, yet makes so much sense. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up? Thus it was very fascinating how the author addressed the need for storing things in a Japanese home. I have travelled to Japan many times and I know that Japanese houses are much smaller than those in the US on average. One other very interesting thing to me was that being a Japanese she describes how things are in Japanese households. It was perfect, not too intense and yet so much to think about - my own home, things I possess and why. I have finished her book in two long commutes during this cold and snowy Chicago winter. It felt to me that Marie Kondo uses "tidying" as therapy sessions. I loved her very last chapter as well, where she points out that if you (the reader) pour as much passion into what you do, the results will surpass all expectations. The author approaches such a mundane task as tidying with such passion, creativity and inspiration that I am absolutely amazed. I would definitely recommend this to a friend and have done so already. I have well over 100 books in my Audible library now, and while I came across several really excellent ones, this was the one that compelled me to write a review for the first time.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Definitely one of the best books on the subject
