The Art of Losing Control: A Philosopher’s Search for Ecstatic Experience is a nonfiction work by Jules Evans that explores ecstatic and altered states of consciousness and challenges the idea that rationality is the highest form of human experience. It draws on ancient philosophy, modern psychology, and contemporary cultural examples to investigate how “losing control” can contribute to wellbeing, meaning, and emotional resilience.
