To a generation in full revolt against any form of authority, "Tune
in, turn on, drop out" became a mantra, and its populariser, Dr.
Timothy Leary, a guru. A charismatic and brilliant psychologist,
Leary became first intrigued and then obsessed by the effects of
psychedelic drugs in the 1960s while teaching at Harvard, where he
not only encouraged but instituted their experimental use among
students and faculty. What began as research into human
consciousness turned into a mission to alter consciousness itself.
Leary transformed himself from serious social scientist into
counterculture shaman, embodying the idealism and the hedonism of
an age of revolutionary change."Timothy Leary" is the first major
biography of one of the most controversial figures in post war
America.
