Details Condition: New Format: Hardback ISBN: 9781529005370 Publisher: Bluebird (Pan Macmillan) Age Range: Adult Overview Joy at Work is a practical guide from tidying expert Marie Kondo and organisational psychologist Scott Sonenshein that adapts the world-famous KonMari Method for the modern workplace. Written for anyone drowning in email, paperwork, meetings, or a chaotic desk, it blends Kondo's signature decluttering philosophy with Sonenshein's award-winning management research. The result is a clear, actionable roadmap for creating a calmer, more focused, and genuinely joyful professional life, whether you work from a home office or a busy corporate floor. About the Book Building on the phenomenal success of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Marie Kondo turns her attention from wardrobes and kitchen drawers to desks, inboxes, and diaries. Teaming up with Rice University professor Scott Sonenshein, she shows readers how to apply the "spark joy" principle to physical clutter, digital chaos, and even the intangible clutter of unproductive meetings, difficult relationships, and misplaced priorities. The book moves through a series of practical, sequential steps rather than offering a vague list of tips: readers learn how to tidy a workspace so it supports focus rather than distraction, how to tackle an overflowing inbox and paperwork as a one-time transformation rather than an endless chore, and how to identify and eliminate the small time-wasters that quietly drain a working day. Beyond the physical and digital, the authors also address mental and emotional clutter — indecision, low motivation, and unclear goals — offering strategies to build confidence and align daily tasks with what matters. Backed by original workplace research, they argue that subtracting clutter, not adding more systems, is the real key to sustainable productivity. Warm and encouraging, Joy at Work has become a go-to recommendation for professionals and anyone starting a new job. Step-b
