Beskrivning

Twenty years on from the bestselling success of Buddhism for Mothers, Sarah Napthali remains keen to explore the depths of the human experience. Intrigued by reports of the power of mushrooms, MDMA, LSD, ayahuasca and others, and the immense potential for personal and spiritual growth, she becomes determined to try these medicines and apply what she learns to the challenges she now faces as a newly divorced empty-nester.Over one year, Sarah takes eight psychedelic medicines. She navigates the highs of new romance and travel, but also grapples with the loss of old friends and a confrontation with aching loneliness.The psychedelic renaissance has provided a wealth of empirical evidence about the potential of these medicines, but this is a first-person account, a chance to join someone on their trips, and see how they impact her daily life.

Mer om författaren

Sarah Napthali is the author of the international best-seller Buddhism for Mothers which sold over 100,000 copies and was translated into 13 languages. Sarah wrote a further five books about applying Buddhist teachings in family life. Ten years later, her children have grown up, the family home disbanded, and Sarah has decided to quit her job in the public service and dedicate a year to exploring the world of psychedelics - mushrooms, MDMA, LSD and ayahuasca - among others. Sarah has criss-crossed the globe to join psychedelic retreats, she has sourced trip-sitters in Australia, and engaged in specialised psychotherapy to ponder the insights from her psychedelic experiences. Ever the seeker, always grappling with the big questions, Sarah has chronicled her discoveries with honesty, applying them to the lows of loneliness and the highs of new romance.
