In a world that feels chaotic, this is a pleasure-seeking roadmap
Filled with photos and lessons from the garden, “The Guide to Becoming Alive” by Flamingo Estate owner and steward, Richard Christiansen, is part manifesto, part memoir. Eager to learn how to live a great life, Richard asked some of his friends and heroes how they found their way to happiness, greatness, and joy. People like Jane Goodall, Alice Waters, Martha Stewart, and John Legend—you know, your standard dinner party guests. A book as intriguing to flip through as it is to display, this is pleasure-seeking 101.
