Full Description
A dynamic deep dive into the revolutionary, mystical, and sometimes unpredictable world of psychedelics by Zach Leary, longtime psychedelic advocate and cultural figure
More than 30 million people in the United States have used psychedelics―and the number is rapidly rising as practices like psychedelic-assisted therapy grow in popularity and an increasing number of places legalize or decriminalize these substances. But even as interest skyrockets, most people have little idea how to use psychedelics safely, let alone integrate these profound experiences into their everyday lives. In Your Extraordinary Mind, psychedelic researcher and advocate Zach Leary offers a necessary overview of psychedelics today―particularly LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and ayahuasca―including what they are, how to use them safely, and crucially, how to integrate mind- and spirit-altering experiences into the rest of our lives.
Leary, the son of psychedelic pioneer Timothy Leary, has a unique perspective on not only where psychedelics have been but also where they’re going. He offers context on both the cultural history and present interest, while acknowledging and honoring the Indigenous roots of many of these traditions. The book discusses:
- Instructions for intention, use, and integration
- How psychedelics can support trauma healing
- An overview of the current legal landscape and future questions
- How psychedelics can support addiction recovery
- How to work with psychedelics for spiritual growth
Leary writes, “Some say the psychedelic experience is too vast and unconventional to be reduced into language that can affect its daily relationship with consciousness. I subscribe to the idea that the psychedelic experience can be weaved into one’s heart, soul, healing, and thus, daily living practice. I believe we can distill the mind-blowing, previously indescribable psychedelic experience into a focused spiritual method that can help people in their daily lives.” The book offers wisdom that is both practical and profound.
