The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying is Marie Kondo’s bestselling guide to decluttering and organizing, presenting the KonMari method as a practical system for transforming living spaces and habits. The book explains that tidying should be done by category rather than by room, and it emphasizes keeping only items that “spark joy,” a principle that became widely associated with Kondo’s approach. The Penguin Australia listing identifies this ISBN as a 256-page trade paperback published by Vermilion on 15 April 2014, and describes it as a simple, effective way to banish clutter forever.[3] The Library of Congress/Internet Archive record also identifies the work as The life-changing magic of tidying by Marie Kondo, published in London by Vermilion in 2014, and summarizes its core advice: organize your rooms once and for all, keep only what you really love, and complete the tidying process in a deliberate sequence.[5] The book is widely known as the English-language edition that helped popularize the KonMari Method internationally.[3][5]
