This book may seem very silly when you read about how the author wants you to thank your clothes and give your possessions a home too rest. But, having lived in Japan when I was a teenager, it's a very Japanese thing to be so polite and considerate even to inanimate objects. So I can read it and continue without laughing uncontrollably and tossing the book. I haven't tidied my house yet so I don't know if it will work for me but it certainly has motivated me to want to try it and tidyeverything. I just don't know if I can do it in one sitting.
