"Decluttering" is currently experiencing a real hype: so-called decluttering coaches are offering their services in abundance, and nearly 100,000 copies of Marie Kondo's organizing guide, "Magic Cleaning" - a book that praises the life-changing power of tidying up - have been sold in Germany alone. In this incredibly amusing and clever satire, Jennifer McCartney asks: who on earth truly believes that you can save a relationship by organizing your sock drawer? Or that you can find your dream job by decluttering your bookshelf? This book therefore turns a cold shoulder to the decluttering craze - because messiness is simply part of life. In the spirit of "I'll stay as messed up as I am," the author calls for an end to constant self-optimization and instead encourages us to remain as we are: wild, free, wonderful - and chaotic.
