First Japanese tidying expert Marie Kondo helped declutter your closet, now she's on a bigger mission to spark joy on a global scale - by tidying up the world.
We all have plenty on our To Do lists, but Japanese tidiness expert Marie Kondo has more ambitious aims than most. 'My personal goal is to tidy up the world,' she tells Sky News, 'to take these Japanese sensibilities and in a small way, improve the world around us.' Actively tidying from the age of five by putting things in order at home for her mother and in her classroom for fellow pupils, Kondo founded her own organising consulting business at 19 while still a student.
Will ditching our possessions lead to happiness? Kondo first rose to fame in her home country of Japan, before becoming a household name in the US and Europe around 2014, and over the last decade the social climate has changed enormously. Now juggling both a cost of living crisis and climate change, is the act of chucking stuff out still quite as appealing to the public as it once was? Yes, says Kondo, with a slight change of perspective.
