They are now a 'breakthrough therapy' for mental illness but in truth we have only a vague idea how they work and there is a limit to what the science can reveal. To have any hope of understanding them, we must broaden our view - dramatically - of what they actually are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this daring, perception-shifting odyssey, clinical neuropsychologist Andy Mitchell takes ten different drugs in ten different settings, journeying from a London neuroimaging lab to the Colombian Amazon via Silicon Valley and his friend's basement kitchen. His encounters with scientists and gangsters, venture capitalists and con men, psychonauts and shamans, as well as with the drugs themselves, reveal the reality of psychedelics in all their strangeness, hilarity, darkness and wonder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Original and thrilling . achieving profound insights' \u003c\/b\u003eMike Jay, author of \u003ci\u003ePsychonauts\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A hair-raising hurtle of a ride' \u003c\/b\u003eHenry Shukman, author of \u003ci\u003eOne Blade of Grass\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Utterly compelling . like having an out of body experience' \u003c\/b\u003eMark Miodownik, author of \u003ci\u003eStuff Matters\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'The psychedelic world has been waiting for this book' \u003c\/b\u003eProfessor Erika Dyck\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40985172050017,"sku":"9781847926975","price":20.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_32485745.jpg?v=1737623212","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781847926975-ten-trips","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
