“A genuine spiritual quest. ... Extraordinary.” (New York Times)“Evocative, wise and, above all, humane, The Doors of Perception is a masterpiece” (Sunday Times (London))“Wonderfully entertaining.” (The New Yorker)“The book that launched a thousand trips.” (Daily Telegraph (London)) In 1953, Aldous Huxley took four-tenths of a gram of the drug Mescalin, sat down and waited to see what would happen. When he opened his eyes everything was transformed. He describes his experience in The Doors of Perception and its sequel Heaven and Hell.
Among the most profound and influential explorations of mind-expanding psychadelic drugs ever written, here are two complete classic books—The Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell—in which Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World, reveals the mind's remote frontiers and the unmapped areas of human consciousness. This new edition also features an additional essay, "Drugs That Shape Men's Minds," which is now included for the first time.

Insightful, existential Great book! Aldous Huxley has some really great observations about his experience with mescaline, and interprets them in a very contemporary existentialist manner.The doors of perception is an interesting description of the ... The doors of perception is an interesting description of the author's experience with psychedelics but if you yourself have never tried them it might not be too interesting. Heaven and Hell is worth less attention unless you are really interested in artWow i've never had someone parallel my thoughts on psilocybin so perfectly, yet in the absolute best wording possible... Worth a read for all of you who have had an eye opening trip and need to consolidate some of your thoughts. Huxley somehow predicted our building of perception when we would not solidify these theories until just recently with modern neuroscience. He did it with his own doors of perception, and excellent philosophical mindset. He predicted many things that are true. I was shocked when I found out this was written in the 50's. A true renegade of his time."Most of these modifiers of consciousness cannot now be taken except under doctor’s orders, or else illegally and at considerable risk. For unrestricted use the West has permitted only alcohol and tobacco. All the other chemical Doors in the Wall are labeled Dope, and their unauthorized takers are Fiends."
