Self-Help Book Club: The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning

Self-Help Book Club: The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning

Level up your life with a self-help book club just for the summer! This month, we're letting go with The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Free Yourself and Your Family from a Lifetime of Clutter by Margareta Magnusson. From the publisher: "In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning 'death' and städning meaning 'cleaning.' This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming."

Print copies of the book will be available at the Information Desk on the lower level of the library. Stop by the library, or call 203-272-2245 to request that we hold a copy for you.
