The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide

James Fadiman, involved in psychedelic research since the 1960s, describes the effects of psychedelics taken at high doses for spiritual purposes, moderate doses for therapy, and low doses or microdoses for problem-solving. From more than 40 years of experience, he gives practices for safe sessions, including the value of a sensitive guide and how to be one, and the importance of setting and of intention beforehand. He reviews new and neglected research on psychedelics for personal awareness and serious medical conditions, including his own study of hundreds of students and professionals, and describes microdosing for cognition and emotional balance. He also looks at the experiences of Aldous Huxley, Ram Dass and Steve Jobs, among others.
