He calls them atomic habits.

Story
Throughout history, there's been one indelible quality that great leaders, makers, artists and fighters have shared. The Zen Buddhists described it as inner peace, the Stoics called it ataraxia and Ryan Holiday calls it stillness: the ability to be steady, focussed and calm in a constantly busy world. This quality, valued by every major school of thought from Buddha to Seneca, John Stuart Mill to Nietzsche, is urgently necessary today. And, Holiday shows, it is entirely attainable.

Absolutely spot on!
- By Devon Dolley on 16-03-17
Summary
It takes the average person 38.5 minutes to read 5,000 words. For the price of a coffee and a time investment of roughly two percent of your day, I believe the wisdom in this book to be well worth it's value.
Here's my sales pitch: The writing will not be quite up to the same standard, and the formatting is also not done by a professional. If you need a story behind each point to reinforce it, then please, go and buy the original.
However, if, like me, you aren't a fan of the "fluff" that comes along with most books and would much rather skip to the nuggets of wisdom and actionable content in a very easily absorbed and easy-listening way including key takeaways, then I believe this is the book for you.
Save yourself time and money. I am only releasing summaries of the books that have made a true positive impact in my life. If you decide to purchase, I truly hope you enjoy and benefit from it.

If you liked Cliff notes which only touch the basic & obvious, this is for you
Can not recommend, the narrator, Ms. Littwin & her book company, Nutshell Publishing total lose the nuances of Kondo's original work, where she brings you & teaches, it's more than just tidying up. If you just want the absolute minimum (no pun intended), the how dos of keep & pitch (without inspiration), Then, maybe this is for you. The actual book, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo, is inspired & spiritual. You feel, no matter how much stuff you've accumulated, you can handle it with Joy & a major can do freeing attitude. I'm usually the cynic that does not buy into the Zen happy-do-da! I'm a believer now! The problems with this Audible 'Summary' is the author and guide is flat, joyless and, sorry to say, very uninspiring unlike Kondo herself. Kondo brings in a sense of spiritualism (not religion). This approach brings what you are doing at a totally different level. It's a Joy not a drudgery.

I read more than 3/4 of the original version of Marie Kondo's book but it was just too much. This version was perfect, to the point, & explained everything in the original without all the "fluff". I got everything I needed & am excited to put it into practice. It was short & I was actually able to listen to the entire book while on a Target run! You really can't beat that!
