This is not a book about healing. It’s a book about remembering.

Blending myth, pop culture, spiritual inquiry, and psychological depth, The Fringe Benefits of Being Crazy reclaims madness as signal, not defect. You’ll walk with Diogenes through the marketplace, sit by the fire with Neem Karoli Baba, trace the spiral of Walter White, and listen for meaning with Viktor Frankl in a concentration camp.

This book is for those who see too much, feel too deeply, or laugh at the wrong moments. The edge-walkers. The quiet prophets. The divine idiots. The ones who know that what we call “crazy” is sometimes just the refusal to shrink.

It’s not a diagnosis. It’s not a cure.
It’s a mirror. A myth. A permission slip.

For anyone who’s ever wondered if their madness might be medicine—
this book says: yes.
