About this listen
Overwhelmed by clutter? Discover the Swedish secret to a lighter, stress-free life—without the guilt or overwhelm!
If your home feels cluttered and chaotic, and parting with possessions feels impossible, you’re not alone. Whether it’s sentimental attachment, guilt, or procrastination, letting go can feel overwhelming.
But what if decluttering didn’t have to be stressful?
Swedish Death Cleaning offers a compassionate, no-pressure approach to clearing clutter—at your own pace—so you can create a home filled with peace, clarity, and freedom.
In this practical, step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to:
- Declutter without guilt: Release possessions mindfully and keep only what truly matters.
- Eliminate stress and overwhelm: Follow a simple, no-pressure system to make decluttering easy.
- Stop clutter before it starts: Build sustainable habits to keep your home peaceful and organized.
- Get family members on board: Transform decluttering into a shared, respected practice.
- Experience lasting freedom: Let go of the past and create space for the life you truly want.
Unlike extreme minimalism, Swedish Death Cleaning isn’t about getting rid of everything—it’s about keeping what brings you joy. You’ll learn how to declutter at your own pace, honor your past, and design a future that feels lighter and freer.
If you're ready to clear the clutter and reclaim your life, then download this audiobook!

Story
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 rather 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 listeners to embrace minimalism.

While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, many of us simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin? Add in paralyzing emotional attachments and constant life challenges, and it can feel almost impossible to make real decluttering progress.
