Über diesen Titel

It is impossible to overstate the cultural significance of the four men described in Don Lattin's The Harvard Psychedelic Club. Huston Smith, tirelessly working to promote cross-cultural religious and spiritual tolerance. Richard Alpert, aka Ram Dass, inspiring generations with his mantra "be here now". Andrew Weil, undisputed leader of the holistic medicine revolution. And, of course, Timothy Leary, the charismatic, rebellious counterculture icon and LSD guru. Journalist Don Lattin provides the funny, moving inside story of the "Cambridge Quartet", who crossed paths with the infamous Harvard Psilocybin Project in the early '60s and went on to pioneer the mind/body/spirit movement that would popularize yoga, vegetarianism, and Eastern mysticism in the Western world.

I enjoyed this book immensely! It gives such an interesting insight into the psychedelic movement and background of the 1960s and 1970s. Not being from the US, I had no deeper knowledge about the movements of this time an the role psychedelics played in them. This book has inspired me to read more about this topic and see some parts of that era in a new light.

Interesting insight
