"A moving, tender and thoughtful exploration of a complicated subject. If you want to understand psychedelics better, this is a great place to start"
–Johann Hari, New York Times bestselling author of Stolen Focus and Lost Connections
"A compulsively readable romp through a burgeoning scene that has immense potential for both harm and healing."
–Dan Harris, New York Times bestselling author of 10% Happier and host of the Ten Percent Happier podcast "In Ernesto Londoño's courageous and revelatory book, a whole new continent sails into view: of the hidden corners of our minds, and of the mysterious substances that light them up. This journey inside the brain and around the world taught me more than any book I've read in a long time. It's an important book, one that will save people's lives."
–Benjamin Moser, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Sontag: Her Life and Work "New York Times correspondent Londoño debuts with an arresting survey of the "medicinal psychedelic field" and where it's headed...a scrupulous study of a fascinating development in mental health care."
–Publishers Weekly, starred review "Blending solid research and personal experience, the author points to a new frontier for trauma treatment."
–Kirkus
