Categories: Religion & Spirituality, Self-Help

Sacred Derangement (2025) is filmmaker and speaker Jason Silva's guide to creativity as a state of consciousness. Drawing on philosophy, psychology, art and altered states, he argues for a deliberate, playful derangement of habitual perception. Silva treats encounters with awe and wonder as sources of resilience and invention rather than luxuries. Alongside the argument, the book offers practices for cultivating awe, radical self-expression and creative risk in everyday life.
