The Doors of Perception
Aldous Huxley (1954)
A seminal essay in which Aldous Huxley recounts his first experience with mescaline in 1953, exploring how the drug dissolves the brain's filtering mechanisms and opens the mind to a richer, unmediated perception of reality.
DMT: The Spirit Molecule
Rick Strassman (2001)
Rick Strassman documents the first U.S. government-approved clinical research with a psychedelic substance in over 20 years, administering approximately 400 doses of DMT to 60 volunteers at the University of New Mexico between 1990 and 1995.
The Body Keeps the Score
Bessel van der Kolk (2014)
Drawing on over 30 years of clinical experience and neuroscience research, Bessel van der Kolk shows how traumatic stress reshapes the brain and body, and explores innovative treatments — including MDMA-assisted psychotherapy — that activate the brain's natural neuroplasticity.
Psychedelics
David Nutt (2023)
The definitive accessible guide to psychedelic science by one of the world's leading neuropsychopharmacologists. Professor David Nutt covers the pharmacology, neuroscience, and clinical evidence for LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, DMT, ayahuasca, and ketamine.
The Psychedelic Renaissance
Ben Sessa (2017)
A psychiatrist and clinical researcher who has personally conducted MDMA and psilocybin therapy trials provides a thorough overview of psychedelic science, history, pharmacology, and clinical potential. Extensively revised for the 2017 second edition, the book surveys every major psychedelic substance and its evidence base for treating psychiatric disorders.
Good Chemistry
Julie Holland (2020)
Psychiatrist and MAPS clinical researcher Julie Holland explores the neuroscience of human connection — why we need it, how modern life undermines it, and how psychedelic medicines can help restore it. The book bridges oxytocin research, attachment theory, and psychedelic pharmacology to make the case that the "chemistry of connection" is the key to both individual healing and collective wellbeing.
The Psychedelic Handbook
Rick Strassman (2022)
A comprehensive, evidence-based practical guide covering nine psychedelic substance classes — psilocybin, LSD, DMT/ayahuasca, mescaline, ketamine, MDMA, ibogaine, 5-MeO-DMT, and Salvia divinorum — written by the clinical researcher who conducted the first FDA-approved psychedelic study in a generation. Each chapter addresses pharmacology, therapeutic potential, safe use guidelines, microdosing, and recognition of adverse reactions.
The Way of the Psychonaut
Stanislav Grof (2019)
Written in his late eighties, this is Stanislav Grof's magnum opus — a comprehensive synthesis of over sixty years of consciousness research through psychedelic-assisted therapy and Holotropic Breathwork. Volume One covers maps of the psyche, the architecture of emotional disorders, perinatal matrices, spiritual emergency, and a fundamental revision of depth psychology based on non-ordinary states of consciousness.
