About this listen

This program is read by the author.

From a much-loved expert and popular science writer comes this straight-from-the-trenches report on how and why folks from all walks of life are using magic mushrooms to enhance their lives.

Interest in psychedelic mushrooms has never been greater–or the science less definitive. Popular science writer and amateur mycologist Eugenia Bone reports on the state of psychedelics today, from microdosing to heroic trips, illustrating how “citizen science” and anecdotal accounts of the mushrooms’ benefits are leading the new wave of scientific inquiry into psilocybin.

With her signature blend of first-person narrative and scientific rigor, Bone breaks down just how the complicated cocktail of psychoactive compounds is thought to interact with our brain chemistry. She explains how mindset and setting can impact a trip–whether therapeutic, spiritual/mystical, or simply pleasure seeking–and vividly evokes the personalities and protocols that populate the tripping scene, from the renegade “’Noccers” of Washington who merrily disperse magic mushroom spores around Seattle, to the indigenous curanderas who conduct traditional ceremonies in remote Mexican villages.

Throughout she shares her journey through the world of mushrooms, cultivating her own stash, grappling with personal challenges, and offering the insights she gleaned from her experiences. For both seasoned trippers and the merely mushroom curious, Have a Good Trip offers a balanced, entertaining, and provocative look at this rapidly evolving cultural phenomenon.

Critic Reviews

"Bone serves up an eye-opening examination of the science and benefits of psilocybin mushrooms . . . The elegant blend of scientific research, stories of individual mushroom users, and Bone’s own experiences with the drug make for a study that’s as eclectic as it is stimulating. This will expand readers’ minds."Publishers Weekly

“Beautifully composed, Eugenia Bone’s book is a trip in itself.”—Suzanne Simard, PhD, forest ecologist and author of Finding the Mother Tree

“Eugenia Bone does it again! She takes the reader on a deep dive into the rapidly emerging practice of psilocybin use with a balanced view toward benefits, potential pitfalls, and ever-expanding applications. I unabashedly recommend this book for all those contemplating or currently engaged with psilocybin mushrooms.”—Paul Stamets, author of Mycelium Running
