Title from disc surface. Read by Natascha McElhone.
Summary:
Margareta Magnusson shared with the world her practical Swedish tradition of ḏs̃tdning, or "death cleaning"-clearing out unnecessary belongings before others must do it for you, in her international bestseller The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning. Now, unburdened by baggage (emotional and actual) she is able to focus on what makes each day worth living, and reveals her discoveries about growing older, some difficult to accept, many rather wondrous. She reflects on her early days growing up in Sweden and raising her family around the world, offering tips and wisdom on how to age gracefully, such as: don't be afraid to wear stripes, don't resist new technology, let go of what doesn't matter, and much more.
