Sacred Silly: How Play Rewires Your Brain, Rebuilds Relationships, and Reclaims Your Joy

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 naïve. But ancient, brave, and deeply human.

Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, global traditions, and first-hand experience, John 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.)
