Though some of the things mentioned in this book seemed a little ridiculous (daily thanking your house and the things you use for example) and some promises seemed a little far-fetched (tidying your house will help you become your true self), they somehow also sound very believable, because they make sense the way she explains it.

I haven't started tidying myself, thinking it would be best to first read the entire book so that I was familiar with the method before starting, so I can't really say anything yet about the results, but the KonMari method really seems like an effective way to tidy a house, even if the added benefits the book promises won't happen.

I know that at least I am excited to try it out, and I loathe tidying and cleaning with everything I am, so I guess that at least tells you something about the persuasive power of the book.
