Very enjoyable and on point
Emily Woo Zeller has a wry tone that works well with this book. At first I wasn't sure if it accurately reflected the author's approach, but as I've made my way through this book I have been pleasantly surprised by Marie Kondo's sense of humor. I have already made some positive changes in my environment, based on her suggestions. She has a way of making things easy and fresh...although I prefer a minimalist lifestyle, and try to find ways to dispose of things, I appreciate actually hearing her statements that certain items in my environment have already "served their purpose" and I can thank them and let them go. She is practical, yet whimsical in the way she suggests that one thank our material possessions, and handle them, and press them. I have never taken any sort of pride or pleasure in folding clothes before, but perhaps that is because I have not taken the care to ensure that those clothes I keep are ones that actually bring me joy? There is plenty of food for thought in this book, and it is a pleasure to listen to.
