Marie Kondo’s Kurashi at Home: How to Organize Your Space and Achieve Your Ideal Life
By Marie Kondo

Kondo’s Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up transformed how so many sort through their physical items and minimize “stuff” with the simple question of “does this spark joy?”. In her new book, robust with color photos, she invites readers to apply this question to their behaviors and mindset. It becomes about what you keep instead of what you get rid of. Whether one page in this book speaks to you or they all do, there are recipes, rituals, meditations and invitations to deepen you Kondo experience.

Art of the Chicken
By Jacques Pepin
