The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Free Yourself and Your Family from a Lifetime of Clutter by Margareta Magnusson
informative
reflective
slow-paced
2.0
This book in a nutshell: get rid of your crap before you die so others don't waste their time.
There were some good tips at the beginning (start with things you don't have strong emotions with), but then the advice got less helpful (give stuff you don't want to your friends and family now), then darn right weird (what to do about pets so they aren't left when you die), and finally unhelpful (this generation doesn't even know how to write a thank you note or read handwriting). Maybe this is the millennial in me, but this seemed very boomer. I get the major point that the author is trying to make, but I wouldn't call this a helpful guide to decluttering your life.
