A dynamic deep dive into the ever-changing world of psychedelics by Zach Leary, longtime psychedelic advocate and cultural figure

More than 30 million people in the United States have used psychedelics-and the number is rapidly rising as practices like psychedelic-assisted therapy grow in popularity and an increasing number of places legalize or decriminalize these substances. But even as interest skyrockets, most people have little idea how to use psychedelics safely, let alone integrate these profound experiences into their daily lives. In Your Extraordinary Mind, psychedelic researcher and advocate Zach Leary offers a necessary overview of psychedelics today-what they are and how to use them safely, particularly LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, and ayahuasca-and crucially, how to integrate mind- and spirit-altering experiences into the rest of our lives.

Leary, the son of psychedelic pioneer Timothy Leary, has a unique perspective on not only where psychedelics have been but also where they're going. He offers context on both the cultural history and present, while acknowledging and honoring the Indigenous roots of many of these traditions. In addition to instructions for intention, use, and integration, Leary addresses topics like healing trauma, psychological and spiritual experiences, questions of legalization, and how psychedelics relate to and can help people heal from addiction.

Your Extraordinary Mind offers wisdom on psychedelics that is both practical and profound.
