The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning

Book • 2017
In this book, Margareta Magnusson introduces the concept of 'döstädning,' a Swedish term meaning 'death cleaning,' which involves clearing out unnecessary belongings at any age to avoid leaving the task to others.

With Scandinavian humor and wisdom, Magnusson provides a radical and joyous method for putting things in order.

She suggests which possessions to get rid of (such as unworn clothes and unwanted presents) and which to keep (like photographs and love letters).

The book includes personal anecdotes and stories from her life in Sweden, making the process of decluttering uplifting and fun rather than overwhelming.
