Featured Article: Inspiring and Motivational Books for Women


Over the past few decades, feminism and the women's rights movement have made tremendous strides, giving women greater opportunities in multiple areas and even confronting inclusivity issues within the movement itself. While there is still much work to be done, it is important for women to acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments of the brave, resilient activists who worked to make it happen. If you're looking for inspiration, look no further.

More than a book on tidiness!

This author has made her life's journey to explore orderliness, the value of orderliness, and what an individual's management of their living environment communicates. This book just might help you understand yourself better!

Life saving

This book for me was a revolution in the way I see my environment and the objects that inhabit it. Always a messy person, I finally understand what it means to apply order and a sense of respect and care to the things around me. This comprehension has allowed for a deeper sense of gratitude and compassion in every facet of my life. When a person is open to the ideas and notions that KonMarie has to offer, they have the potential to radically alter their lives for the better with this book and with her other book.

I love the audio version because you can listen while you work and repeat sections as you embark upon your own tidying festival.

I know the colors of my socks.

It sparks joy within to see just how this system of folding and "stacking " clothes be it blouses or socks in drawers. At one time I had two sock drawers full of balled up socks in plastic dividers. Upon reorganizing, by folding I am able to get the two drawers into one and view from the top immediately all the beiges to Brown's to grays to blacks. This system really does work.i have great joy every time I now go to select a pair to be worn. So it is with my blouses too. Try it and you will see what I mean!

I've always wanted to be organized and I love to clean so now I have time to do the things I really enjoy and not spend the day just moving things around. Could listen to the book over and over just to get more thank you very much.

Helpful details to reinforce the KonMari method

I listened to this on audiobook and it definitely answered some of my questions like how to deal with the kitchen and sentimental items. Some of her ideas are certainly revolutionary and fresh. If you liked the first book and have started some tidying and folding, definitely read this too.

Far exceeded expectations

I did not expect to enjoy this book as I am not particularly interested in organization and material things in my home...or at least that is what I thought before listening to this book! I couldn't stop listening - the book is wonderful and the reading was delightful!
