An exploration of mind and body from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Natural Mind and Spontaneous Happiness. From the great popularizer of alternative medicine, here is a collection of essays about his travels to South America in the early 1970s in search of information on altered states of consciousness, drug use in other cultures, and other matters having to do with the complementarity of mind and body.

But what happens when our reliance on powerful pharmaceuticals blinds us to their risks? Painful side effects and depend...
