Psychonauts: Drugs and the Making of the Modern Mind

I particularly enjoyed the segments about Freud, I think they provided me an interesting nuance to what I was told about his drug usage in that history of psychology 101 class I took forever ago. It's pretty much the entire point of this book, to revisit (or explore) how we view self-experimentation with mind altering drugs and how our views of the people who partake in said experimentation has ebbed and flowed over time.

The book is pretty accessible, there is little to no jargon and even someone with little to no knowledge of the topic should be able to understand and enjoy it without resorting to extra material. That being said there is a fair amount of names and personally I found that the chronology sometimes got a little muddled.

It was a thought-provoking read for me in some regards so I might revisit this review later on.

I received an eARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
