The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead (Penguin Modern Classics) Paperback – International Edition, 2 Oct. 2008

A truly fantastic read. I'm not an avid reader but I loved every minute of reading this. Honestly if you plan on tripping I can't reccomend this enough. It can really help you out in a bad spot, or instruct you on how to guide your trips.

A great and historical book. I remember getting a hardback copy from the local library and studying it closely when I should have been concentrating on my GGCSEs.If psychedelics interest you this book is well worth reading.

A must-read for psychonauts and the curious.

This book is a heavy read if you have no experience of the subject, if you have it certainly will open your mind and explain lots of things, fantastic.

It was worth a read, and Leary was a cool guy who knew how to enjoy himself. He was most certainly a capitalist of the moment, to put it mildly, that's for sure. I can say, to summaries the whole book, if you're going to trip or take an entheogen, just relax and go with the flow, never let your ego run away with the show. Taking any mind-altering substance, if you do decide to go down this path, it's always best to take great care and do some research before-hand. I wish I had read this book as a youngster, for obvious reasons.

Maybe you need to have had a little smoke or something in the few days prior to reading this ?Guidance to what to expect immediately after death, and how not to be scared.Basically, so long as you realise that whatever appears is only, in fact, you yourself, nothing can harm you.Everything is just different aspects of you. Sorry.

Wow no wonder nothing changed the world if you tripped and read this, although I can relate to mystical experiences with magic mushrooms, I suppose people coming out of the 50s conservatism would flip on this

Great book. The introduction on this version is very good and put's the writings into a modern perspective.
