The KonMarie Method of discarding possessions and then organizing effectively what remains has received enthusiastic testimonials worldwide. Kondo is convinced that her radical approach to tidying one's home can have transformative effects upon one's life and general outlook. She advocates making discarding a dramatic "event" rather than a gradual process and gives detailed and sometimes surprising advice on storage methods and one's "relationship" with possessions. For Kondo, the ultimate criterion is whether each object "sparks joy." For that reason, it is not surprising that the sequel to this book is titled Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up (2016).
