Explore the life and mind of Timothy Leary through his kaleidoscopic archive
The first book of Timothy Leary's selected papers and correspondence opens a window on the ideas that inspired the counterculture of the 1960s and the fascination with LSD and other psychedelic drugs that continues to the present. The man who coined the phrase "turn on, tune in, drop out," Leary's interests ranged from experimentation with hallucinogens to social change and legal reform to mysticism and spirituality to determining what lies beyond our consciousness.
"The exchanges between Leary and Ginsberg are collected in a new book, "The Timothy Leary Project: Inside the Great Counterculture Experiment," compiled by the archivist Jennifer Ulrich... Ulrich's selections, many of them previously unpublished, round out the trajectory of Leary's life from professor to guru to fugitive to a nostalgic caricature of himself."
