📺📚 Netflix & Book Club: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo✨
Details
Are you completely resigned to the fact that no matter how much you clean, the clutter will inevitably just come back?
This month, we are shaking up our usual format for a special hybrid event! We are diving into the global minimalist phenomenon created by Marie Kondō. But this time, you have homework options: you can read her original bestselling book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, OR you can binge-watch her hit Netflix series, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo (or do both!).
By combining the book and the show, we get the best of both worlds. The book dives deep into the psychology and philosophy of the "KonMari" method, while the Netflix series shows the raw, emotional reality of people actually applying it to their messy lives. We will discuss her revolutionary category-by-category system, the emotional weight of our possessions, and what it truly means to keep only things that "spark joy."
As highlighted on Goodreads about the book that started it all:
> Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of noodles?
> Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you'll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever. The KonMari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category system, leads to lasting results... With detailed guidance for determining which items in your house "spark joy" (and which don't), this international best seller featuring Tokyo's newest lifestyle phenomenon will help you clear your clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home - and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.
How this session will work: Whether you read the pages or watched the episodes, come ready to share! We'll compare the philosophy of the book with the real-life struggles seen on screen, and perhaps confess some of our own decluttering disasters.
