Marie Kondo's Life-Changing Magic: Book Insight on The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo

*There are fundamental truths about tidying – an optimum method can really make a dramatic difference in our lives. 

*Judging by the reception that Marie Kondo has received globally, her system works. 

*Tidying is a habit, and the power to change it for a new and more effective habit is completely in our hands. 

*It’s rare that an item in your home will be ‘just an object’. Everything in it either means something, and so should be kept and treasured, or means very little, in which case it can be thrown out. 

*It’s hugely empowering to discover the number of things that you can live without. Your home is your home, so fill it only with the things that you love.
