The Guide to Becoming Alive written by Richard Christianson, founder of Flamingo Estate is part manifesto, part memoir, and wholly a call to live life with intention, depth, and jo y. Spanning over 500 pages, it’s a deeply personal journey fueled by curiosity, resilience, and the pursuit of something greater than “just fine.” Through stories from the garden and soul-searching conversations with icons like Jane Goodall, Alice Waters, Jane Fonda, Ellen DeGeneres, and Chrissy Teigen, this book explores everything from love and purpose to politics, food, design, and dogs. Candid, bold, and beautifully designed, it's a celebration of what it means to be truly alive. For anyone ready to trade mediocrity for meaning, this is your roadmap. Hardcover, 528 pages Show more
