I just finished this book, I wanted to go all the way to make me a true opinion, but I found the time long! This is a book on Zen and Japan "which is better than the rest of the world" than on "how to organize to clean easily at home to feel good." The writing style is complicated. There is a quote before each paragraph, no chapter, I mean PARAGRAPH! I started the "art of the essence" and it's the same. For an author who advocates simplicity, essentially housekeeping in itself ... I find his books many drafts. One positive: the recipes with simple and cheap products (vinegar, bicarbonate, microfibre wipes) unfortunately it is not the subject that 25 240 pages.
On the same subject, I recommend "Conversations with my sink" Maria Cilley gives really want to clean that I enjoy reading (putting aside the speech "blessed yes yes" American) when I need motivation.
