I am a <i>super</i> organised, tidy person and I like the ideals this book encourages so I have been really looking forward to reading it. That was until I realised <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22318578-the-life-changing-magic-of-tidying-up" target="new"><i>The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up</i></a> is one big promotional tool for shilling Marie Kondo's "organizing consultancy" service. The book constantly tries to encourage you to believe you <i>need</i> to be taught how to tidy up. You don't need someone to teach you to tidy; life is too short for that nonsense. Being messy won't kill you. Look, if you're untidy and want help, then I'm all for reading some tips on how to declutter your life but don't be fooled by the hype, this is one big promotional tool with a bit of simple advice sprinkled throughout.
