Ten Trips

A collection of tales from the far frontiers of psychedelic experience … superb … brilliant – Charles Foster * TLS *Canny and somewhat sceptical … rigorous and penetrating … illuminating … this is a wonderful book, a journey into the nature and potential of consciousness itself, and of life on this troubled and monopolised planet * Literary Review *Philosophical and darkly humorous … for all the mystical experiences [psychedelics] afford, divesting them of their shadow side does seekers a disservice, Mitchell holds * Spectator *A powerful reminder that psychedelics can’t be made sense of entirely within a framework of chemical interactions in the brain. We need to view them as something potent, to be respected * New Scientist *An incisive, deeply personal and beautifully written account of the power, the uses and the modern misuses of psychedelics. Highly recommended – Anil Seth, author of Being You
