The book is only a little over 100 pages long, so it is a quick and easy read. From a downsizing perspective, I saw the book more as an assortment of tips than a comprehensive strategy. I’m not certain that the book delivers on that promise. The subtitle How to Free Yourself and Your Family from a Lifetime of Clutter promises a great deal. More than anything, I think that element sets this book apart from other books on decluttering. The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning does spend a small amount of time on the topic of death, which is difficult for many people to consider, whether it is their own eventual death or that of a loved one.
The author uses her unique perspective on minimalism to describe not just what to do with items but also why you would reduce your clutter in the first place. Margareta Magnusson has experience both going through items after a loved one has died and helping the living reduce their items when moving to a smaller home.
The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning is a short book on downsizing and minimizing that includes personal reflections, specific advice, wise observations and humor. She is a professional artist, and The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning is her first book. Margareta Magnusson was born in Sweden, graduated from Beckman's College of Design and has lived around the world. Rating guide: 1 = horrible, 5 = average and 10 = wow Author
