Publishers Weekly Gives Rubin’s Bucket List Book a Positive Review!

by Gail Rubin
May 5th, 2017

Kicking the Bucket List CoverPublishers Weekly, the bible of the publishing industry, recently ran a positive review of KICKING THE BUCKET LIST: 100 Downsizing and Organizing Things to Do Before You Die. Here’s what they published (with paragraph breaks added to ease the eyes of the reader).

Rubin (A Good Goodbye), a certified thanatologist, takes a not-so-grim look at how to reap life’s benefits while preparing for death. Rubin’s common-sense approach is broken down into 100 succinct steps that cover a wide range of activities, from general decluttering and mental preparations to more specific tasks involving legal documents and choices to make closer to death.

Rubin’s approach is holistic, considering the practical need to organize one’s affairs to decrease the stress for surviving family and the emotional need to simplify and enjoy life. Her tone is encouraging, comforting, and even humorous as she systematically navigates through the vast preparation process while providing a plethora of ideas to inspire action without overwhelming.

Rubin’s steps take into account diverse personalities and spiritual beliefs, and also include charitable and environmentally responsible ways of donating property—including one’s body. This invaluable book is an easy-to-read, enlightening reality check and an insightful and sensitive reminder to preplan today, so you and your loved ones can enjoy the rest of your life. (BookLife)

Details: Author – Gail Rubin. Publisher – Rio Grande Books, $15.95 trade paper (128p) ISBN 978-1-9436-8115-0 (also available in E-book formats)

Love the language riff on “grim” and “reaping.” Read more about KICKING THE BUCKET LIST here.
