About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
#1 Death cleaning is the process of going through your belongings and deciding how to get rid of the things you don’t want anymore. It is a Swedish term that refers to removing unnecessary things and making your home nice and orderly when you think the time is coming closer for you to leave the planet.
#2 The world is a worried place. Floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, fires, and wars follow one another. To listen to the media or read newspapers makes me depressed. I would shrivel up if I could not mix the negativity of the world’s news with good friends, experiences out in the natural world, music, or beautiful things.
