Rating:  - The Book
This book is still the most insightful guidebook to the psychedelic experience I've come across. Whereas most offerings that claim to be instructive resources amount to little more than particular individuals personal retrospectives including all their personal visions and associated dogma, Dr. Leary's present book is as deep and in tune with the core of the human experience as the text from which it is derived, namely the Tibetan Book of the Dead, which has remained one of the most profound manifestos ...

Rating: - Literary Psychedelic Curiosa yet Dangerously Hatched
I heard about this book,but never got around to reading it.It wasn't talking about my generation and associated it with the negative side of the Sixties.I recently stumbled upon the book and felt impelled to read it.I wanted to see if there were theoretical flaws in what was being promoted.If you look at the philosophy of the 'Tibetan Book of the Dead' section and you subtract the nonsense about the LSD,you have an enlightening book indeed.I think the problem that Timothy Leary,Ralph Metzner,and Ram Dass(Rich ...

Rating:  - Too late for tears
As a young boy I experimented with psychedelics, heavily, and never had a "bad trip". After reading this book i wish I would have read it first so that I could have helped others who became "stuck". It's a quick read but to be honest, if you are a good minded person who is aware of the world and how everything affects us. You wont need this book. Its still a good read and I think for the price it's worth picking up.
Rating: - Tomorrow Never Knows
Since there is so much talk about the Beatles song, Tomorrow Never Knows, I have decided to use it as the 'working title' of this review.
We don't know what tomorrow will bring. It is a bit audacious on our part to even think that there might even be a tomorrow because all supposed tomorrows are simply extensions of our today.
I picked this book up in a used bookstore in San Francisco. I was at a crossroads in my life. I thought I really wanted to move up to the Bay Area for good. I thought ... Read More
Rating: - I Want to Take You Higher...
This is Leary at his most prolific, this is an awe-inspiring book that will change the way you think about Life, Death, and LSD. This book is cleverly used to ease the apprehension of one of life's most fearful moments, the moment of death. Comparing an LSD trip to Tibetan death rituals, Leary shows us how enlightenment can be gained at all stages of life, even the final.
