I found the second book to be more practical and useful than the first. It’s called “Spark Joy: an illustrated masterclass…”. I have pared down a lot in the past number of years, mostly letting go of books. I also use Flylady’s strategies a lot. Kondo philosophy is binge-based, Flylady is slow and steady.
It’s amazing how much more peaceful a home is when it is more uncluttered.
https://www.theminimalists.com/ is a great first read. Free and will probably change your approach more drastically and in more ways than the Kondo’s book.
They also have a podcast in which they talk about similar subjects. After a while they get quite repetitive but it’s difficult not to, the concept is pretty simple.
If you are more of a visual person they also have a documentary on Netflix about their lives and their philosophy https://www.netflix.com/ch-fr/title/80114460
