I own an English version of her book and recently bought a German copy to give as a gift for Christmas. Strange as it may sound, even though I don't really like the "style of the method" it's very efficient. Thanking the items and the whole sparking of joy are a bit over the top for me and chapter 5 is by and large too spiritual for my taste. I toss the stuff away without any parting words and joy for me is more a "is it useful" or "do I really need this" (which is pretty much what she has in mind anyways). What I consider pure gold is: * Dumping everything on the floor and going through that mountain because it shows you very clearly how much stuff you have * All the advice on folding. I actually enjoy the folding and storing now because I know it's more neat overall. I vastly prefer the vertical shirts to a stack now. I probably wouldn't have considered rethinking the old stack of stuff if it wasn't for the book * Giving items a home of sorts is also a good overall concepts. I have caught myself thinking "this item is out of place, let me quickly return it to its home" * Going by category instead of location...really helps me get started/keep tidying On a related note, I found the Netflix series surprisingly underwhelming/repetitive. The most useful parts were the folding explanations. tl;dr: MK's stuff is great, I'd recommend the book to everyone :)
