“Everyone’s talking about . . . the new (French) Marie Kondo” -

“This former marketing executive teaches you how to bust your cluster. For good.”

WWD (Women’s Wear Daily)

This inspiring practical guide deciphers our relationship with objects in a unique way. Thanks to

her dual expertise in science and marketing, Marie Quéru sheds light on how the evolution of

our brain explains our propensity to keep everything and to adopt frenetic consumer behavior.

She synthesizes for us the explanation of our excesses, both material and immaterial, and

guides us, thanks to her protocol of Indoor Ecology, on the path to liberation. She claims that we

finally succeed in separating ourselves from what makes our daily life difficult and holds us

down, in order to accomplish our life, while accompanying us in the transition towards an

existence with a better societal and environmental impact.

By helping us refocus on what is essential and free up time and space for what really matters,

Quéru lays the foundation for a sustainable lifestyle: happier, more aesthetically pleasing, and

respectful of the planet’s resources. She delivers the keys to breaking the vicious circle of clutter

and overconsumption.

A simple and effective protocol in five steps, an art of living with three pillars:

• The beautiful facing the visual pollution of our spaces,

• The practical facing the mental pollution of our minds,

• The sustainability facing the environmental pollution induced by our practices.

Indoor Ecology is a beautiful, practical and inspiring book which draws on the author’s own

experiences and her refined visual universe which have been acclaimed by many brands.
