" I suspect I'm not the only person who thought the psychedelics-at-Harvard story had been pretty well settled, but Lattin's work has widened my perspective considerably. By focusing on Huston Smith and Andrew Weil as well as Leary and Alpert, he's created a stimulating and thoroughly engrossing read" - Dennis mcNally, author of A Long Strange Trip: The inside History of the Greatful Dead"

I found the book to be remarkable and had no idea that in the 70's when my bible was "Be Here Now" that Richard Alpert was behind this. No idea then that Huston introduced the Dali Lama to western civilization, and never knew until just that my personal mission statement of world peace, religious tolerance and social justice may have come from these 4 guys!

More from the book cover :
" In spite of their personal conflicts, the members of the Harvard Psychedelic Club would forever change the way Americans view religion and practice medicine, and the way we look at body and soul. "
