Overview
This Marie Kondo 2 Books Collection pairs her signature home decluttering guide with its workplace companion, giving readers a complete system for lasting order at home and on the job.

Joy at Work extends that philosophy into offices, desks, inboxes, and daily routines, co-written with organizational psychologist Scott Sonenshein. Together these two paperbacks offer practical, encouraging advice for anyone ready to simplify their surroundings, boost focus, and build calmer, more intentional habits every single day.

About the Books
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up introduced millions of readers worldwide to the KonMari Method, Marie Kondo's approach to decluttering by category rather than by room. Readers work through clothing, books, papers, miscellaneous items, and sentimental keepsakes, physically holding each object and keeping only what sparks joy. The book covers practical folding techniques, storage solutions, and the mindset shift needed to make tidiness permanent rather than a one-time chore. It blends warm personal anecdotes from Kondo's career as a professional organizer with clear, actionable steps that readers can apply the very same day. Joy at Work carries that same philosophy into the workplace. Co-written with Rice University professor Scott Sonenshein, the book examines how physical and digital clutter undermines focus, creativity, and job satisfaction. It offers guidance on tidying desks, inboxes, files, and even meetings and professional commitments, grounded in organizational psychology research alongside Kondo's core tidying principles. Readers learn how to identify which tasks, tools, and obligations truly serve their goals, and how to release the rest with intention and confidence. Together, these two paperbacks form a cohesive, practical library for anyone seeking calmer surroundings and sharper focus, whether reorganizing a closet or an inbox. Both books share the same encouraging, non-judgmental tone, making them approachable for first-time declutterers and longtime KonMari fans alike.
