Extremely readable book about the possibility of using LSD and magic mushrooms to help treat mental illnesses. These were medicines in the 50’s. Broke out of the lab and into counter culture in 60’s/70’s. Shunned for a few decades but now serious analysis being done. Extremely good audiobook reader.

A psilocybin volunteer and physicist that makes helium neon lasers is now an ordained Zen monk. He has described that “I realize there are just some domains that science will not penetrate. Science can bring you the Big Bang, but it can’t take you beyond it. You need a different kind of apparatus to peer into that.“
