Book Synopsis

A WATERSTONES BEST HOME & LIFESTYLE BOOK OF 2023

----------


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.
