Explores the full spectrum of sexual beliefs, practices, and
identities. Exploring sexual customs, beliefs, practices, and
identities from a wide variety of perspectives, Dr. Miller shares
his fascinating interviews with 20 experts ranging from clinical
psychologists and researchers to sex workers and polyamory
educators. We learn from sex therapists, relationship experts, and
tantric sex teachers, such as Dr. Lonnie Barbach, Dr. Stella
Resnick, Katherine Rowland, and Diana Richardson, about the
importance of communication, how to keep sensuality alive, and how
to generate fulfilling and sustainable intimacy in relationships.
Looking at sexual identity and non-monogamy, we hear from Dr. Ritch
Savin-Williams on sexual identification and gender fluidity, Sumati
Sparks on open relationships and polyamory, Janet Hardy, author of
The Ethical Slut, on sexual freedom, and Annie Sprinkle and Beth
Stephens on the possibilities of ecosexuality. Revealing the inner
workings of the sex industry, we hear from current and former
escorts and sex workers on the stigmas and dangers of sex work and
the need to decriminalize it, including Norma Jean Almadovar,
former LA policewoman and current president of the prostitute’s
union Coyote. Dr. Ogi Ogas, author of A Billion Wicked Thoughts,
speaks about using data science and computational neuroscience to
uncover true statistics about our sexual desires. We hear from
Paulita Pappel on porn as a mirror for society, Faith Jones on
escaping a sex cult, Maeve Moon on recovering from sexual trauma,
and Dr. Laura McGuire about the broad impact of teaching consent.
Validating the extraordinary range and diversity of our sexual
thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, the author gathers voices that
help us free our sexuality from the past, accept our natural urge
for physical pleasure, and open us up to sexuality as a power for
health, healing, and happiness.
Over the past decade, many famous entrepreneurs and celebrities
have begun to open up about their life-changing experiences with
psychedelics that led to their personal successes. But less
well-known are the wisdom-bringing psychedelic experiences of many
top psychologists, psychiatrists, researchers, and others who have
taken what they learned from their entheogenic experiences and
applied it in their professions, leading to therapeutic
advancements, scientific discoveries, and healing for thousands. In
this profound book, Dr. Richard Louis Miller shares stories of
psychedelic transformation, insight, and wisdom from his
conversations with 19 scientists, doctors, therapists, and
teachers, each of whom has been self-experimenting with psychedelic
medicines, sub rosa, for decades. We hear from scientific
psychonaut Amanda Feilding, founder of the Beckley Foundation;
ethnobotanical explorer Dennis McKenna; research advocate and head
of MAPS Rick Doblin; and the "Sunshine Makers": Tim Scully, the
scientist taught to make LSD by Owsley Stanley, and Michael
Randall, the leader of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love. We learn
about recasting "bad trips" as unfamiliar challenges from
psychedelic swami Dr. Allan Ajaya, therapeutic uses of MDMA from
"the love doctor" Charley Wininger, decades of insights from
psychedelic professor Thomas B. Roberts, as well as several others.
Revealing the psychedelic wisdom uncovered in spite of decades of
the "War on Drugs," Dr. Miller and his contributors show how LSD
and other psychedelics offer a pathway to creativity, healing,
innovation, and liberation.
