About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin

Live in a clean and clutter-free home forever with the life-changing KonMari Method - now a multi-million copy international best seller.

Transform your home into a permanently clear and clutter-free space with the incredible KonMari Method. Japan's expert declutterer and professional cleaner Marie Kondo will help you tidy your rooms once and for all with her inspirational step-by-step method.

The key to successful tidying is to tackle your home in the correct order, to keep only the things you really love and to do it all at once - and quickly. After that for the rest of your life you need only to choose what to keep and what to discard.

The KonMari Method will not just transform your space. Once you have your house in order, you will find that your whole life will change. You can feel more confident, you can become more successful, and you can have the energy and motivation to create the life you want. You will also have the courage to move on from the negative aspects of your life: you can recognise and finish a bad relationship; you can stop feeling anxious; you can finally lose weight.

Marie Kondo's method is based on a 'once cleaned, never messy again' approach. If you think that such a thing is impossible, then you should definitely listen to this compelling audiobook.

Amazing, listen while cleaning

It’s the Perfect balance between funny and function . I got this book on a suggestion from a YouTube cleaning channel , I use to struggle cleaning as it took so long and was annoying. After finishing this book it made my cleaning time nonexistent, and the time I did spend cleaning enjoyable. If you find cleaning a drain definitely give this book a go, as a ex hoarder it’s change my life so much, thank you

Life changing

This is the best self help book I have ever read. I have always shared the philosophy of the book and felt like the odd one out amongst my friends and family. This book reinforced my view that seeking”things” is harmful. I realised the boyfriend I was about to break up with is actually an amazing person and I am now happy with him. The night I listened to this I threw away 7 bin bags or rubbish and donated a further 10 to charity shops. And trust me I was not a hoarder! My house is beautiful, airy and light. I don’t spend more than I need to and I feel truly happy with life. Thank you

Definitely Life Changing

The KonMari method has totally transformed my life. The narrator has a nice voice to listen to as well, which makes for easy listening.

This is the correct tidying tech I have been waiting for

I have been always inclined to tidy messy places and to get an adverse reaction of messy places. At the same time I can’t hide to admit I haven’t been the best at keeping my house tidy. When a friend of mine commented on the state of my bathroom storage and suggest I use boxes like Marie Kondo says it stocked with me that I was missing something. I then I got the audio book from audible and I indulged in listening. I listen to the entire book twice in a row. There is soooo much data about tidying. Marie Kondo studied 15 years of her life to this and after many trial and failing and success she put together the perfect and most workable way to tidy so one does not have to tidy ever again later. I immediately applied it and it worked! I felt all the emotions and physical reactions that she explained I will feel on the process! Ans after using her tidying method my wardrobe has been looking spotless for an entire week! This never happened before! Now I am getting my husband to listen to the book too so he can start racking his clothes and things. I cannot recommend this book enough.

Inspiring and motivating

I didn’t realise cleaning could be fun or life changing! Marie has a beautiful and quite spiritual take on cleaning that was really lovely to listen to. My house or wardrobe has never looked so organised as it does now. Highly recommended! Thank you!
