Yoga coach Johanna Hector uses death calendar in new book

Key Points
  • Johanna Hector uses a death calendar to count weeks until her expected death date.
  • Her debut book challenges modern society's focus on performance and optimization.
  • She aims to live fully and avoid becoming what she calls a 'beautiful corpse'.

Yoga and life coach Johanna Hector is reportedly counting down the weeks in a death calendar that ends on her expected death date, according to reports from Helsingborgs Dagblad and Sydsvenskan. She has reportedly filled in a circle for each passing week and is more than halfway through the calendar. With her debut book titled "Konsten att dö ung så sent som möjligt" (The Art of Dying Young as Late as Possible), she aims to challenge the modern fixation on performance and endless optimization.

Hector has stated, "Jag vill inte bli ett vackert lik" (I don't want to become a beautiful corpse), emphasizing her focus on living fully with the time she has left rather than pursuing perfection.
