Now, unburdened by (literal and emotional) baggage, Magnusson is able to focus on what makes each day worth living. In her new book she reveals her discoveries about aging--some difficult to accept, many rather wondrous. She reflects on her idyllic childhood on the west coast of Sweden, the fullness of her life with her husband and five children, and learning how to live alone. Throughout, she offers advice on how to age gracefully, such as: wear stripes, don't resist new technology, let go of what doesn't matter, and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs with death cleaning, it's never too early to begin. \u003ci\u003eThe Swedish Art of Aging Exuberantly\u003c\/i\u003e shows all readers how to prepare for and understand the process of growing older and the joys and sorrows it can bring.
