Leary, Timothy Series

This book tells the inside story of Leary's early LSD research at Harvard. Known throughout the world as the guru who encouraged an entire generation to "turn on, tune in, and drop out," he draws on wit, humor, and skepticism to debunk the power of psychotherapy and to advocate reprogramming the brain with psychedelics. Discussing how various drugs affect the brain, how to change behavior, and how to develop creativity, he also delves into psychopharmacological catalyzing, fear of potential, symbol and language imprinting, and brain reimprinting with Hinduism, Buddhism, and LSD.

The Politics of Self-Determination

by Timothy Leary

Published 1 June 2000

Visionary Harvard psychologist Timothy Leary became the charismatic leader of the '60s counterculture. Remembered as a pioneer of research and experimentation with psychedelic substances, he was also an author, lecturer, political dissident, and media magnet whose wit and charm captured the world's attention. In this collection of essays from Leary's early career, he presents his concept of personal responsibility for the effects of one's behavior. According to Leary, self-determining people don't blame their parents, their race, or their society; they accept responsibility for their actions, which in turn determines the responses they get from the world. These writings had an enormous impact on the humanistic psychology movement and libertarian redefinition of the doctor-patient relationship. Ronin's new offering gives readers a fascinating glimpse into Leary's ground-breaking work in this area.

Evolutionary Agents

by Timothy Leary

Your Brain Is God

by Timothy Leary

Published 15 June 2001

YOUR BRAIN IS GOD offers the inside story on how the Harvard-Millbrook psychedelic research project moved from the scientific to the religious arena. After professors Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert were expelled from Harvard, they came to understand that the US Constitution protected religious practice, but not scientific exploration. The only way in which consciousness-change experiences could be discussed was in terms of the philosophic-religious. The adventure that ensued is described here in Leary's own words.
