The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo

#1  NEW YORK TIMES  BESTSELLER • The book that sparked a revolution and inspired the hit Netflix series  Tidying Up with Marie Kondo : the original guide to decluttering your home once and for all. ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE—CNN   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. The KonMari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category system, leads to lasting results. In fact, none of Kondo’s clients have lapsed (and she still has a three-month waiting list).  With detailed guidance for determining which items in your house “spark joy” (and which don’t), this international bestseller will help you clear your clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home—and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.

What Your Clutter Is Trying to Tell You

What Your Clutter Is Trying to Tell You Uncover the Message in the Mess and Reclaim Your Life by Kerri L. Richardson

Clutter is a temper tantrum of the soul, and it's time to listen closely to what it's saying. Clutter, with its overwhelming physical and emotional presence, can seem like it’s one of our toughest inner critics. We see it and think it is telling us that we aren’t neat enough or don’t have enough control over our own lives. But what if we instead saw clutter as a messenger? And as opposed to confronting it with fear and loathing, we approached it with compassion and curiosity? With practical and warm advice, lifestyle designer and coach Kerri Richardson guides you to accept your clutter as a natural manifestation of your mind, body, and spirit looking out for yourself. It is your soul calling out for you to invest in self-care and to face the fears holding you back from being your best self. Richardson dives into the most common categories of physical clutter and provides effi cient and effective steps for clearing the space for your physical, mental, and spiritual well-being to flourish. But more than house and home, Richardson encourages you to clear out the clutter of relationships and habits that have been occupying your time and energy for too long. From tackling your common clutter hot spots to preventing the accumulation of unneeded belongings in the future, the readily usable tools in these pages give you an achievable plan to maximize your house, your home, and your heart’s potential.

Nos vemos en el cielo

Nos vemos en el cielo Manifestaciones después de la vida de nuestras mascotas by Miguel Pedrero & Carlos G. Fernández

Muchas son las personas que comparten sus vidas con animales de compañía a los que cuidan y protegen, a los que quieren y respetan incluso por encima de algunos seres humanos. Aunque generalmente se  niega que tengan alma, numerosas investigaciones muestran que sienten amor y odio, son solidarios e inteligentes, distinguen entre el bien y el mal e incluso llegan a manifestar cierta trascendencia. Desde esta nueva perspectiva, si existe un más allá para los humanos, ¿por qué no para los animales? Los autores –periodistas y escritores que colaboran en diversos medios– recogen aquí emotivos testimonios de primera mano acerca de la conexión desde el otro lado , de comunicaciones entre el mundo de los espíritus y el nuestro, facilitadas por el cariño y la cercanía emocional con nuestras mascotas. Su pretensión es ofrecer información sobre un asunto que casi nadie se llega a plantear y sobre el que ellos han investigado profundamente: sus apariciones fantasmales,  su sexto sentido, el duelo que los dueños han de hacer tras su muerte, las psicofonías registradas… Un libro inquietante que nos acerca al más allá de esos animales con los que establecemos un vínculo tan fuerte que aprendemos a saber qué necesitan y qué sienten.

How to Keep House While Drowning

How to Keep House While Drowning A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing by KC Davis

An NPR Best Book of the Year | USA TODAY Bestseller This revolutionary approach to cleaning and organizing helps free you from feeling ashamed or overwhelmed by a messy home. If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you. In other words, messiness is not a moral failing. A new sense of calm washed over her as she let go of the shame-based messaging that interpreted a pile of dirty laundry as “I can never keep up” and a chaotic kitchen as “I’m a bad mother.” Instead, she looked at unwashed clothes and thought, “I am alive,” and at stacks of dishes and thought, “I cooked my family dinner three nights in a row.” Building on this foundation of self-compassion, KC devised the powerful practical approach that has exploded in popularity through her TikTok account, @domesticblisters. The secret is to simplify your to-do list and to find creative workarounds that accommodate your limited time and energy. In this book, you’ll learn exactly how to customize your cleaning strategy and rebuild your relationship with your home, including: -How to see chores as kindnesses to your future self, not as a reflection of your worth. -How to start by setting priorities. -How to stagger tasks so you won’t procrastinate. -How to clean in quick bursts within your existing daily routine. -How to use creative shortcuts to transform a room from messy to functional. With KC’s help, your home will feel like a sanctuary again. It will become a place to rest, even when things aren’t finished. You will move with ease, and peace and calm will edge out guilt, self-criticism, and endless checklists. They have no place here.
