Punctuated by whimsical illustrations, this “life wisdom” is a warm and fuzzy memoir dispensed as advice. It’s a joy to hear from someone who has made peace with death. The advice ranges from “eat chocolate” to the philosophical—“take care of something every day.” Occasionally the book feels like a quickly cobbled-together follow-up to her bestseller about “death cleaning,” which I’ve not read. The nuggets are not profound but make an impact. I wonder if all aging people, including the poor, can use Magnusson’s advice though. After all, not everyone can afford the comfort of home or access universal healthcare.
