The Harvard Psychedelic Club

Don Lattin’s The Harvard Psychedelic Club offers a compelling look at four influential figures—Huston Smith, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), Andrew Weil, and Timothy Leary—whose lives intersected with the Harvard Psilocybin Project in the 1960s. Through engaging storytelling, the book traces their roles in shaping the modern Mind/Body/Spirit movement and promoting spiritual and cultural openness. It provides an insightful, behind-the-scenes exploration of these iconic pioneers' contributions to popularizing alternative health practices and Eastern philosophies in the West.
