This is a guide to a life well-lived. It is about the wonder of the everyday and the lessons that age brings.

Wear stripes. Eat chocolate. Don't leave empty-handed.

But also embrace change, let go of what doesn't matter and take care of something or someone other than yourself.


The Swedish Art of Ageing Well is a gentle and welcome reminder that, no matter your age, there are always fresh discoveries ahead and pleasures to be enjoyed every day.

Margareta Magnusson (1934-2026) was born in Gothenburg in Sweden on New Year's Eve. She worked for many years as an artist and had her work exhibited as far afield as Singapore and Hong Kong. She had five children and is the author of The Swedish Art of Ageing Well and Döstädning: The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, a book that 'turned the Scandinavian decluttering practice into a global phenomenon' (Guardian) and is now a major TV series narrated by Amy Poehler.
