How to listen
This brief and very eloquent argument for the use of mescaline is quite convincing. I think anyone could benefit from this account of the substance even if I don't necessarily agree with it.
As for the performance, I found the audible breathing very distracting and the pace of reading dragged. That said, turning to 1.35x speed fixed both those issues.

Great read
This was my second time reading/listening to this book, and I think I got more out of it this time around. It’s short and concise, yet profound.

Boring Phsyco Babble
This book about being a guinea pig taking a phsychotic drug in the 50s and its results on him was so boring it put me to sleep in 15 minutes. Couldn't finish it. Narrator droned on.

A tool of the Ancient Culture’s… not a habitual recreational drug
As a recreational Marijuana smoker of days gone by,
now a self-medicating user for chronic pain and neuralgia,
from spine injury requiring surgical procedure;
This is an extraordinarily interesting listen of same sensations - different plant product.
Wondering what Mr Huxley would think of the same experience in
today’s world.
Super enjoyable ear candy :-)

A Respected Author
The status of the author in the philosophical field gives the subject matter the necessary respect.

should have read the blurb
Autobiography was not what I expected when I downloaded Huxley's books. Glad this one was the first one I read. Now the others have some context to Huxley's mind.

We must be adventurous to grow.
We must be adventurous to grow because it is in the unknown that we find new answers that challenges our preconceived ideas of what is important.
This book is as important as ever, infact more so because right now we need innovation which ultimately involves a different perspective. Doors of perception illustrates this point well.

What a vibe
Huxley on mescaline, my new spirit animal. This short book is a rambling mess, I really enjoyed it.
Huxley flings around philosophical references like no ones business, so if you're into a comedy of that...
