Beskrivning

Suffused with a unique brand of irreverent humour, this account recalls the author's autobiographical explorations of the most significant alternative communities, ashrams, gurus, shamans and consciousness-raising seminars of the past 40 years. Serving as a human guinea pig for many of the most popular cutting-edge New Age and spiritual experiments, Sobel recounts his intercontinental adventures in India, Israel, Brazil and Haiti. A witty analysis including brushes with cults, wild experiments with sex and drugs, and encounters with visionary madmen.
