I really enjoyed her book, but I was also reading it during 4am pumping sessions, so take that for what you will. The things I took from it were:
1. Actively deciding what to KEEP, as opposed to what to DISCARD. It's a subtle shift, but it makes a huge difference.
2. Asking if things "spark joy" as a way of being liberated from guilt.
3. That it's okay to give away gifts, even if you have never used them, because they have served their purpose in just being gifted.
I didn't agree with everything (I am not going to thank my socks and somethings do not spark joy, but I'm still keeping. Like my broom or dustpan.), still it was useful. :)
