Are you one of the many Americans who have embraced the Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning (the act of clearing out unnecessary belongings yourself and not leaving the chore to your loved ones), which is described in a 2018 international best-seller?  If you enjoyed Margareta Magnusson’s first book, you may want to pick up her latest work, The Swedish Art of Aging Exuberantly: Life Wisdom from Someone Who Will (Probably) Die Before You.  Primarily written during the pandemic, Magnusson uses her unique style of writing to dispense words of wisdom on how to live life zealously.  She also expands on how to “death clean” in a bit more detail in this latest installment.  Specifically, at the end of the book she offers several questions loved ones can ask of an older family member that may tactfully broach the topic of what to do with all the stuff in their homes.
