The Book Worm Set

Our new written Guide and iconic Sage Candle.

Last August I sat in the goat shed and started writing a book.

It was the kind of book I NEEDED to read. I was hungry to learn about how to live a GREAT life — not just a good one. I wanted to hear directly from my heroes about how they found their way to happiness, greatness and joy. And how they found their way out of mediocrity and darkness.

600 pages later, I have never been more proud of anything I have ever done. Ever.

The Guide to Becoming Alive is part manifesto, part memoir. It includes lessons from the garden, and candid conversations with my heroes and friends including: Jane Goodall, Alice Waters, Jo Horgan, Martha Stewart, Jane Fonda, Terry Tempest Williams, Kelly Wearstler, David Leon, Jobi Manson, Gonzalo Samaranch Granados, Elise Loehnen, Erica Chidi, Ellen DeGeneres, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, David de Rothschild, Dr. Kerry Howells

Together we talk about work ethic, sex, love, purpose, food, exercise, technology, politics, design, plants, and dogs. There’s plenty of great images and lots of words to live by. In a world that feels chaotic, this is a roadmap.

Devoured this

I’ve never actually read a coffee table book before. Until now. It’s inspiring, beautiful and a gentle reminder to be physically and mentally connected to people, places and (non-tech) things

Fantastic

I am reading this cover to cover. Such passion and commitment to all things positive. I am looking forward to experiencing the fruits of their labor - the soaps, candles, honey, etc. Happy to support such a great organization.

Loving the book

I’m loving and enjoying the book so much; the only downside is that it arrived with a minor damage in the cover, nothing big just important to let you guys know, other than that I love how it looks on my living room and love to read it slowly in the morning
