The stories behind this cutting-edge medical research and religious exploration reveal the human side of a psychedelic renaissance. "Changing Our Minds" is the latest installment in a trio of books about the recent history and future prospects for finding beneficial uses for drugs and plant medicines like LSD, psilocybin, MDMA and ayahuasca. DISTILLED SPIRITS is a memoir/group biography that looks at how writer Aldous Huxley, philosopher Gerald Heard, and Bill Wilson, the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, opened new doors in Western religious thought. It is a prequel to THE HARVARD PSYCHEDELIC CLUB, a national bestseller that won the 2010 California Book Award, Silver Medal, for non-fiction. Don Lattin's other books are "JESUS FREAKS - A True Story of Murder and Madness on the Evangelical Edge" and "FOLLOWING OUR BLISS - How the Spiritual Ideals of the Sixties Shape Our Lives Today."
