Minimalism is the thing that gets us past the things that clutter our lives so we can make room for life's most important things - which actually aren't things at all. At age 30, best friends Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus walked away from their six-figure corporate careers, jettisoned most of their material possessions, and started focusing on what's truly important.

Publisher's Summary
Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Spark Joy by Marie Kondo, read by Sumalee Montano.
Spark Joy is an in-depth, room-by-room guide to decluttering and organising your home. It covers every room in the house, from bedrooms and kitchens to bathrooms and living rooms, as well as a wide range of items in different categories, including clothes, photographs, paperwork, books, cutlery, cosmetics, shoes, bags, wallets and valuables.
The secret to Marie Kondo's unique and simple KonMari tidying method is to focus on what you want to keep, not what you want to get rid of. Ask yourself if something 'sparks joy', and suddenly it becomes so much easier to understand if you really need it in your home and your life. When you surround yourself with things you love, you will find that your whole life begins to change.
Marie Kondo's first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying, presents her unique tidying philosophy and introduces listeners to the basics of her KonMari method. It has already transformed the homes and lives of millions of people around the world. Spark Joy is Marie Kondo's in-depth tidying masterclass, focusing on the detail of how to declutter and organise your home.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our desktop site.

Game-changer
It is an amazing invitation to explore kindness through all the aspects of life. To be respectful and mindful of the things we surround ourselves with as they are a reflection of our minds and souls.

a new beginning
This was a master piece for me. I have never thought about my possessions like this before. The JOY feature makes it easy to decide what to keep and what to discard. The method is well described, it makes sense and is easy to implement. I do not need any other work/book on this topic.

Effective and Useful
I felt for this book as a spiritual book simply because if you follow the steps and put it to use in your life, you will connect to yourself with more clarity and in turn, will have better relationships with people around you.
I loved the book and the storytelling and found many useful tips for my already clean and tidy home and closet. The only thing I felt missing during the entire book was the need for subtitles along with the audio recording.

Tidying from a slightly different perspective
This was a relaxing experience to listen to. It's narrated very calmly and managed to not be too patronising (which many tidying books can be).
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed listening to it and it has made me want to approach tidying from a category perspective rather than room by room.

Really lovely book about finding joy
This is not really a book about only decluttering, it’s more about finding joy in the things you do have and learning to treasure them and figuring out what those things are in your life - and not keeping the things that make you unhappy. A very simple premise, but she takes you through all the different steps you can take - all the while remembering, do what brings you joy. In a way it’s sort of a book on mindfulness too, tuning into how your environment and your home makes you feel. Really good listen!

Great addition to Life Changing Magic of Tidying
I have only recently tried audio books and I have to say I love them! It's so easy to listen during your commute or when doing daily chores around the house. This book is very much a practical guide to accompany Marie Kondo's first book 'The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up'. I found the book useful and will certainly go back to use it as a reference guide throughout my tidying journey but as it is a practical reference book, I found it a little long winded to listen to in certain parts as she describes exactly how to fold things etc. which is really much more of a visual thing but the accompanying PDF with the various diagrams was helpful in this regard. I was still able to picture everything she described in my mind as she spoke and really enjoyed part 3 of the book where she talks about life after tidying. I would definitely recommend the book to anyone who has read Life Changing Magic and maybe going through the tidying process or wants to fine-tune things following their tidying event (in the storage/ organisation stage).

Life changing advice
I can't wait to be able to put this into practice.
This book is ok as an audible but I think really needs to be read in hard copy due to the practical advice. I believe this is what my life needs but I just need to make time to do it!
I preferred the narrator on the Joy of tidying book as they had a more soothing voice but that is more of a criticism of casting than the actress.

I need no other book on tidying.
Loved the principals of this book and have started implementing them in my home. I now understand the difference between clean and tidy. Clean is related to the environment and happens externally to us. Eg dust and dirt. Tidy is directly related to us and the choices we make.. If there are excess objects in our home they got there because of us. Some objects we find hard to part with yet we don't use them or need them. This book helps with the letting go process in a way I would never have considered. Ie thank the item for the joy or pleasure it gave and let it go peacefully. I am not a person who regards books and objects as having feelings (as this book implies) but I do know I have feelings towards objects, and this letting go process does have merit. I've listened to the audio of this book entirely, and now have bought the book. I look forward to systemically working through each area in order as Marie wisely suggests. Clothes first them books, followed by papers, miscellaneous and finally sentimental. It is a progressive process from the easy to the hard so we learn to hone our skills of finding joy before we get to the hard stuff. I definitely recommend this book.

Excellent message and practical directions
A very practical book and a great follow-up to the author's first book on the same topic. This book gives detailed instructions and ideas on how to tidy / declutter / minimise.
The accompanying PDF is invaluable as you then have visual instructions to accompany the book's text.
The narrator has some unusual interpretations of pronunciation - for example, the Japanese word "manga", which I think is now quite well-known in english-speaking circles, has been pronounced "manya" and makes no sense. While this was a little distracting, it in no way ruined the book for me.
I'm very much looking forward to putting these tidying principles into action in my home.

Skip Fold
"Spark Joy" by Marie Kondo has some good ideas, and it's short. I like the section on kitchens. It also has some bad ideas: sentimentality and Shinto. So, if you're dead inside, hate your family, and don't care to remember anything from your past - skip it, you're already awesome.

Good to keep the motivation going
A good second book to the KonMari method. Some extra motivation but not as much of a story line. I have listened to this book on my commute to work and I will re listen to it as I organise my home again. Its the little reminder that you can always make do with less.
