Could psychedelic drugs change our worldview? One of America's most admired writers takes us on a mind-altering journey to the frontiers of human consciousness

When LSD was first discovered in the 1940s, it seemed to researchers, scientists and doctors as if the world might be on the cusp of psychological revolution.

    Очень круто написана книга, будто статья из New Yorker. Во-первых, автор разобрался в теме и поговорил с разными учёными и терапевтами, которые работают с психоделиками. Во-вторых, окунулся в историю и рассказал почему же все таки табуировали тему ЛСД в 60х. Ну а в-третьих, он сам прожил каждое вещество на себе, читать очень трепетно. Для меня это книга года наверное, очень советую 🍄
