Boho Manifesto, The: An Insider's Guide to Post-Conventional Living

- Blurb -

Bohos are perhaps best described as a group of trust-fund artists, broke charismatics, leisure scientists, office-averse entrepreneurs, surfer-environmentalists, and/or bon vivant partiers who lead seminomadic, unconventional lives. Their approach to life is based more on creativity than on money, but having a few rich friends with homes by a good surf break doesn't hurt. Instead of in a luxury hotel, you might find a boho camped out in a tepee in Ibiza, or in a yurt in Mongolia wearing an Oaxacan serape and Valentino espadrilles. It's definitely fun to live vicariously through the lens of these fabulous individuals - learning what they wear, where they travel to, what they do in their leisure time - and with The Boho Manifesto, it's finally all accessible. Here we learn about the New Mindfulness, including how to enter a state of "flow" and why to use mala beads, palo santo sticks, crystals, and mandalas for meditation. Topics in the "Body" chapter include AcroYoga, sound baths, natural deodorant, Tantric sex, and beauty botanists. When it comes to food, it's all about the new hyphenated cuisine - "cold-pressed," "grass-fed," and "free-range" - along with backyard foraging and fermentation. When it comes to work, it's about co-working spaces, laptops in paradise, microgurus, and never again committing to a 9-to-5 job.
