The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide

Drawing on the latest research and over 40 years experience in the field of psychedelic science and medicine, The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide by James Fadiman, Ph.D., is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in using psychedelics as tools for spiritual, emotional, or personal development. From the importance of having an experienced guide to the need for careful attention to set and setting, this book contains a wealth of practical guidelines for using psychedelics effectively and responsibly.



The guide describes how different dosages can be used to facilitate different kinds of healing and self-discovery and dispels many common myths about the risks and benefits of psychedelics by reviewing past and current research into their therapeutic use. It even takes a close look at how these tools were used by spiritual, scientific, and industrial leaders including Ram Dass, Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley, Huston Smith, Francis Crick, and Steve Jobs.

James Fadiman, Ph.D., is the co-founder of the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and has been involved in psychedelic research for over 40 years. In addition to writing and teaching, Fadiman gives regular presentations and workshops on psychedelic science and medicine. He lives in Menlo Park, California.
