Description
Timothy Leary: A Life of Revolution and Experimentation. In the 1960s, Dr. Timothy Leary became a charismatic figure in American counterculture, popularizing the mantra "Tune in, turn on, drop out". As a psychologist, he had initially been researching the effects of psychedelic drugs, but his experiments soon took on a life of their own. Leary's mission to alter consciousness itself led him to transform from a serious academic into a counterculture shaman. At Harvard University, where he taught and conducted research, Leary encouraged the experimental use of psychedelics among students and faculty. His work turned into a quest for revolutionizing human experience. This biography offers a comprehensive look at one of America's most controversial figures in postwar times. Robert Greenfield's biography provides an in-depth exploration of Timothy Leary's life, from his early days as a social scientist to his rise as a counterculture icon.
