Produktbeschreibung
Somewhere along the way, you got really good at being an adult - but forgot how to be alive. Sacred Silly is here to help you remember. With lyrical storytelling, grounded research, and irreverent humor, disenchanted pastor turned brand strategist, John Emery invites readers to reimagine play as an essential, transformative practice. Not childish. Not naive. But ancient, brave, and deeply human. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, global traditions, and first-hand experience, Emery explores how play rewires our brains, rebuilds relationships, and restores what so many of us have lost-our sense of wonder, delight, and vitality. Inside you'll find:The evolutionary and spiritual roots of play How play helps us lead, love, grieve, parent, and heal How playful intimacy builds deeper, more erotic connection Practical ways to invite whimsy into your everyday life Stories that will make you laugh, cry, and remember yourself Real-life rituals, tools, and practices to help design a more joyful, resilient life Whether you're burned out or just longing for something more, Sacred Silly is a gentle rebellion against the weary world's expectations-an invitation to live more vibrantly, love more openly, and play like your soul depends on it. (Because it just might.)
Autorenporträt
John Emery is a former pastor turned brand strategist, startup advisor, and angel investor. He is a musician, songwriter, performer, designer, painter, poet, and athlete-an unapologetic renaissance man with a reverence for joy. He's the founder of Emery: A Brand Consultancy, where he and his team help visionary brands wake up to their deeper purpose and build cultures that are more playful, connected, and alive.John's career has spanned pulpits, boardrooms, concert stages, and campfires. His clients range from bootstrapping founders to global icons like Paul McCartney's nonprofit, podcaster Rich Roll, and Yoga With Adriene. He's known for guiding leaders through high-stakes brand evolutions with equal parts soul, strategy, and silliness-and for reminding even the most buttoned-up executives that joy is a serious business.He lives on the southern coast of Maine with his wife, Elyse, and their three kids, where daily life is equal parts beauty and chaos. Whether he's coaching a founder, painting a canvas, or building an epic pillow fort, John seems to always be chasing the same thing: moments that feel deeply human and unmistakably alive.Sacred Silly is his first book-a love letter to the playful, curious, wholehearted life he's still learning to live.
