The Art of Discarding How to Get Rid of Clutter and Find Joy

The book that inspired a young Marie Kondo to start tidying up—now available in an English translation. Practical and inspiring, The Art of Discarding—the two-million-copy bestseller that inspired the future author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up to start cleaning out her closets—offers hands-on advice and easy-to-follow guidelines to help you finally let go of stuff that is holding you back—as well as sage advice on acquiring less in the first place. Nagisa Tatsumi urges us to reflect on our attitude to possessing things and to have the courage and conviction to get rid of all the stuff we really don't need, offering advice on how to tackle the things that pile up at home and take back control. By learning the art of discarding you will gain space, free yourself from "accumulation syndrome," and find new joy and purpose in your clutter-free life. "Inspiring . . .
