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.

What made the experience of listening to The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up the most enjoyable?
The voice of the narrator and all the helpful info and stories.
What did you like best about this story?
The methods given to help you. I play this while re arranging my closet. it has helped immensely with storage and organization. To my surprise folding vs.hanging really works! I am still working on having all of my clothes accessible for all seasons.
Any additional comments?
Marie's way will become everyone's. My favorite concept was touching your clothes and letting what you feel when you touch it decide if it is worthy of keeping or not. What is invoked within you when the clothing is touched is what is invoked in you and how you will feel when wearing it. Powerful truths!

RealTime Speaking is a profound and powerful way of public speaking and an authentic means of self-expression based on authenticity, vulnerability, and connection.

Would you consider the audio edition of RealTime Speaking to be better than the print version?
I suppose it could be. I have not read the print version. This version was very good.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The most interesting was the stories of how his workshops transformed people's lives and the little anecdotes he shared in between.
Have you listened to any of Markus Flanagan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not.
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
Do not be afraid to be vulnerable. Speak from your heart and soul, it is what connects you to your audience. The facts don't matter if there is no human connection.
Any additional comments?
While listening, I expected more actual nuts and bolts tips from the workshops. I have since gleaned that the workshop is simply about giving people space to speak publicly while standing their fears and doubts. Allowing them to stand in it until the negative self talk disappeared. I did not have public speaking fears, I have done it often in my life. I am used to feeling the pulse of the audience to gauge whether or not I am being understood, heard, etc. I choose this book being concerned over what to say in a daily online vlog. This did help, in the author's saying, know your audience and just speak to them, from your heart.
