Summary

"From the #1 bestselling sensation and Netflix star comes her guide to designing not just the home-but the life-of your dreams, fully illustrated with more than 200 photographs from inside the Marie Kondo lifestyle"--

Kondo encourages you to visualize your ideal life, from the moment you wake up until the end of each day. This mental picture becomes a touchpoint for helping you make conscious, mindful choices: from how you use every corner of your living space to how you take advantage of every moment. This will help you focus not on what to get rid of, but what to keep. This will empower you to embrace what you love about your life. -- adapted from inside front cover
