TEN TRIPS - ANDY MITCHELL KARTONIERT (TB)

Neuropsychologist Andy Mitchell punctures the hype around psychedelic drugs while providing the
fullest picture yet of their limitlessly fascinating possibilities. 'An incisive  deeply
personal and beautifully written account of the power  the uses and the modern misuses of
psychedelics. Highly recommended' Anil Seth  author of Being You 'A collection of tales from
the far frontiers of psychedelic experience . . . superb . . . brilliant' Charles Foster  TLS
Psychedelics have made a comeback but remain a mystery. 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. In 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. 'Original and thrilling
... achieving profound insights' Mike Jay  author of Psychonauts 'A hair-raising hurtle of a
ride' Henry Shukman  author of One Blade of Grass 'Utterly compelling ... like having an out of
body experience' Mark Miodownik  author of Stuff Matters 'The psychedelic world has been
waiting for this book' Professor Erika Dyck
