About this audiobook
A stirring visit with one of the modern pioneers of consciousness exploration. Born in Czechoslovakia, Stan Grof came to the U.S. in the late 1960s and became one of the foremost explorers of LSD-25 as a research tool. Since then he has developed non-drug alternatives for exploring the hidden reaches of the human mind and psyche.
