"Trickster is a major figure in American Indian folk Wisdom. Also in Sufi Tales … a certain type of "rascal"-with a grin and a wink (and wisdom beyond wisdom) … in the Zen tradition this is known as the School of Crazy Wisdom … Timothy Leary-in his own inimitable way-has become the twentieth century's grand master of crazy wisdom …"

Synopsis

These 11 essays are the writings that galvanized the 60s youth revolution, written when Leary was at the peak of his popularity, influence and visionary intensity. The book opens with "Start Your Own Religion", revealing the true meaning of his immortal slogan "turn on, tune in, drop out", while "Neurological Politics" - the last essay - is a more scientific elaboration of the same theme.
