March 20のThe Japan Times OnlineのBOOKS / REVIEWS欄に丁度これから読もうとしている "The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up" についての書評がありました。タイトルは "There’s just one problem with Marie Kondo’s ‘Spark Joy’" となっていました。記事の最後の段落を引用します。
Kondo’s success and subsequent lionization — Time Magazine included her in its 100 most influential people of 2015 — speaks to our overcluttered lives. Her tone is matronly, her tips are practical and her advice is easy to follow. However, “Spark Joy” raises a conundrum: Now I have two books which say more or less the same thing, which do I discard? Which sparks less joy?
私は "The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up" を借りて読むだけなので悩む必要はないので安心しました。
