Overview
This paperback collection brings together the two titles that launched Marie Kondo's tidying movement: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Spark Joy. The first introduces the KonMari Method, a category-by-category approach built around one guiding question: does it spark joy? The second expands that philosophy into an illustrated master class, showing how to fold, store, and arrange belongings so a tidy home stays that way. Together they offer the mindset and mechanics of lasting order.

About the Books
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up is the book that started it all. Marie Kondo, a Japanese organizing consultant, lays out the KonMari Method: tackle your home by category rather than room, keeping only what sparks genuine joy. Kondo frames tidying as a reflective process — thank each item for its service, then decide with intention whether it stays. The book walks readers through her recommended order, moving from clothes to books, papers, miscellaneous items, and finally sentimental keepsakes, so decision-making confidence builds before the hardest categories arrive. It became an international bestseller, introducing readers worldwide to the idea that a decluttered space supports a calmer, more focused life. Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up is the visual companion that makes the method easy to practice. Where the first book explains the philosophy, Spark Joy shows it, with line drawings covering folding techniques and room-by-room storage solutions for closets, drawers, kitchens, and bathrooms. It also answers common questions, including how to handle useful items that don't spark joy, and offers guidance for organizing digital photos, hobby supplies, and kitchen tools. Together, the two books form a complete before-and-after: one supplies the mindset, the other the step-by-step execution needed to make a tidy home stick. This companion volume rounds out the pair with clear, actionable visuals that many readers say make all the difference between reading about tidying and actually doing it.
