But whether or not you're interested in Buddhism and/or
psychedelic drugs this is an intellectually refreshing book in
that it tackles profound religious questions and spiritual ideas
in a serious, even eloquent way that doesn't put you to sleep.
And given the 1960s hysteria over psychedelics, the book's
mostly successful attempts to examine the possible benefits of
mind-altering plants and chemicals is admirable and often
fascinating. Even among its contributors there's no consensus,
which is what makes the collection worthwhile.
