That being said, I think this book has three big advantages over the KonMarie method.
1) It talks at length about wastefulness and its associated guilt, how we came to feeling guilty about waste, and how we came to be so wasteful. It is a really cool section that pulls in history, marketing, production, and recession era methods on making things last.
2) It also talks about how lack of space and organizational tools are often used as excuses to why we feel cluttered, but in actuality, our inability to discard is the issue. This point in particular was really eye opening for me because I have a friend who always complained about never having enough space, and she would be able to do x, y, and z once she moved into a bigger space. But every time she moved into a bigger space, it was still never enough. Reading that section about lack of space being an excuse really opened my eyes to her true situation - she never discarded, even when she moved. She just kept accumulating until every corner was bursting with stuff she would often forget about.
3) It talks, at LENGTH, about how Tatsumi defines "discarding," and the different ways one can discard an object: Recycling, donation, passing it on, selling it, etc., with throwing things in the trash bin being a last resort. She also talks about HOW you can do these things, which is really valuable information if you don't know who to contact or how to get started with alternative discarding methods.
Overall, I think this is a good read, but I would not have gotten as much out of it if I had not already read the KonMarie method books. I think that this book is an excellent supplement to the KonMarie books and they should be read together because they complement each other so well, and one fills in where the other might be lacking.… (mer)
