It's quite simple: keeping your home tidy provides mental calm. The recipe arrived in France this year, blogs are talking about it and testing the method; more and more people are starting to tidy their apartments, to get rid of useless objects. All this with a book in hand: “The Magic of Tidying Up”, sold in millions of copies worldwide. The author of the book is a thirty-year-old Japanese woman, Marie Kondo. From Japan to the United States, she is the talk of the town. She made it into Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world, the Japanese channel NTV is producing a series about her and she has become the number one seller of essays in the United States. Her official job: a tidying consultant and she therefore intends to help the inhabitants of the planet to tidy up their homes in order to have a happier life. She also regularly publishes videos on her website, videos that she makes herself. We will be able to find Marie Kondo at her home in Tokyo (she talks to her clothes to tell them that she loves them!), follow her when she goes to a follower's house to "clean" her: she goes through the house and throws away half of the objects, deemed useless, and does a little ritual before throwing away the slightest thing. We will be with her during the classes she gives. We will attend a recording of her TV show, "The Magic of Tidying Up". We will meet Marie's followers in her club, KonMari, which spreads the good word of the pope of tidying up. In France, we will discover the new Marie Kondo: they are "tidying coaches" like Pauline Levasseur, who prefers to be defined as a "home and office organizer";... For a few hundred euros, she comes to your home, gives you all the tips and solutions to keep your house tidy, and ensures follow-up. Happiness, guaranteed.
