Listened to this audiobook. I've listen to her other book and really enjoyed this. It definitely made me want to go home and start purging or 'tidying up' as she says. Lots of very very good tips in here to break away from all the 'stuff' we seem to collect.

Basically the same as the first book, [b:The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing|22318578|The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing|Marie Kondō|https:images.gr-assets.com/books/1418767178s/22318578.jpg|41711738]. The additional illustrations in this one weren't sufficient to make it substantially more useful. (It had a few little drawings of how to fold or store things.)
