What if the moment everything stopped... was the moment life truly began?

The Luckiest Dead Man Alive is a powerful, funny, and deeply human memoir that follows Richard Green's journey from a working-class childhood in Birmingham to a life shaped by music, chaos, near-misses... and ultimately, a life-changing near-death experience in New York.

Growing up in the 1970s, Richard finds escape, identity and inspiration through music -- especially the unmistakable influence of David Bowie. Through the highs of youth, the madness of adulthood, and a string of unpredictable twists, his life becomes a mix of humour, heartbreak, risk-taking, and raw, unfiltered living.

But everything changes in an instant.

Pronounced dead after a morphine overdose, Richard experiences something few people ever come back from. What follows isn't just survival: it's awakening. A shift in perspective so profound it strips away ego, fear, and everything that once seemed important.

Told in a straight-talking, conversational voice, this memoir blends nostalgia, music culture, mental health reflection, and real-life storytelling into a journey that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

This is not just a story about dying.

It's a story about waking up, letting go, and finally learning how to live.

For readers who enjoy memoirs about second chances, personal transformation, music, and the unpredictable nature of life, this is a reminder that the most important moments aren't the ones we plan...

They're the ones that change us forever.
