The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Free Yourself and Your Family from a Lifetime of Clutter by Margareta Magnusson
4.0
'The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Free Yourself and your Family from a Lifetime of Clutter' by Margareta Magnusson is a short book about a kind of dark subject. It is handled with charm and gentleness.
The author, who is aged somewhere between 80 and 100, proposes that we all die and we shouldn't leave our mess behind for the next generation. In a practical approach that made me smile, the author talks about what to keep, what to toss and what to give away, perhaps to your children or someone else who might appreciate it. Emphasis is made that things given away should be actually wanted by the recipient.
The author writes with such warmth about a topic that can be uncomfortable. There is a level of humor that is completely appropriate for the book. I'm glad I got to read this ebook.
