Book Review: Higher Wisdom
(The reason I'm not posting much these weeks is because I have a little break from school so instead of surfing the web in my free time I've been catching up on my reading list and doing a little much-needed socializing. )
I ordered Higher Wisdom: Emminent Elders Explore the Continuing Impact of Psychedelics from MAPS and just finished it. A real gem of psychedelic literature, Higher Wisdom is a collection of interviews by Roger Walsh and Charles Grob of 14 legendary luminaries of the 20th century. Every individual interviewed has done so much for humanity and shares immeasurably valuable wisdom here. I particular enjoyed the first interview with James Fadiman who peppers his profound stories with delightful and insightful wit. The interviews with world-renowned religious scholar Huston Smith and psychologists Gary Fisher and Myron Stolaroff were also particularly engaging for me.
This is a great book to give to someone who is just beginning to become interested in psychedelics as well as seasoned veterans of entheogenic history.
The book is only $25, or if you donate $50 to MAPS you will get a year subscription to the Bulletin AND any one of the books they offer.
