Summary: Numbingly Stupid
Comment: I have a moderate amount of experience with psychedelics in authentic native religious ceremonies. I thought perhaps reading Leary would give me the white man's perspective on these experiences.
Having read this one book of Leary's, I'm not sure if the title of this review refers to the book or the reader :) Some of the history of the 1960s drug culture contained in this book was interesting. However, the interesting historical tidbits occur randomly with little clear context or relationship to the rest of the book. In fact, this volume reads not like a book but rather like so many unrelated paragraphs. Most paragraphs make some degree of sense by themselves but there is little if any connection from one paragraph to another. The book is a context-free mish-mash of history, scientific classifications of experience and art, rants against modern society, scholarly analysis of the history of science and philosophy, and personal resentments.
Perhaps I haven't re-imprinted my brain sufficiently, or perhaps I've not re-imprinted it closely enough to Leary's own re-imprinting, or perhaps I'm just dumb. Either way, I didn't get much out of this book.

Summary: I love this book
Comment: I recieved this book yesterday and finished it today. this is a wonderful book on creativity, in fact one of the most innovative books on the market for developing and understanding the creative experience. Also, it gives a relatively interesting viewpoint on psychology, and how it has developed in the last century or two, and the direction it should be going in today. Of course, the reader should understand that this is a highly speculative and imaginative book. So read it with your imagination open. Also, if you are interested in the creative process offered in this book, and you can handle the speculative nature of the material, I suggest looking into articles by the late great Claude Rifat,especially his treatise on Polythought, which is best characturized, in my opinion, by Learies chapter on types and functions of art.

Summary: Not read yet
Comment: Ihave not read this book. I've just heard of it because of Leary's connections with mystic stuff. If you've read it I'd be glad to hear from you.
