The theme is simple: it is a book about how to realize a life of pulsing magic every day. It explains the basics of major cleaning in simple terms, from what order to follow when cleaning to how to fold clothes. For people who have already finished cleaning up, there are lots of small hints on how to achieve a KonMari style of living.

About the author:Marie Kondo Marie Kondo is a cleaning consultant. She is a professional who can turn rooms that are so cluttered that you cannot see the floor into rooms that feel like a hotel suite. She has had her students get rid of over a million unnecessary items. In her early childhood, she fell in love with reading housekeeping magazines. She genuinely loved vacuuming, cleaning, cooking, and sewing, and lived like a dedicated homemaker throughout her school years. When she was in the 9th grade, after being inspired by a bestselling book called Throw-Out Skills, she officially began studying the art of cleaning. In her second year of college, she established her own consulting business and began to devote her life to what would become known as "the life-changing KonMari Method for organizing and storing." Her "Once you learn it, you'll never have a messy room again" concept got her noticed, and her popularity soon spread through word-of-mouth. Her blogs Lessons on Organization and Storage for Ladies and Lessons on Organization and Storage for Company Presidents (you need to be introduced by a member to join) both have many dedicated fans. So far, none of her devotees have gone back to their old ways. In 2011, her first book, The Life-Changing, Pulsing Magic of Cleaning Up, became a million-seller. In 2013, she was once again under the spotlight when her book was used as the inspiration for a Nippon Television TV drama starring Yukie Nakama.
