“I consider Stanislav Grof to be a far-out eclectic involved in transpersonal psychology, psychedelics, and scientific psychiatry as well as a very dear friend who has made significant contributions with his work.” – Ram Dass

“Future historians will describe the emergence of psychedelic compounds and plants in the mid-1960s as an event that radically changed psychology, psychiatry, and psychotherapy. It also sent shockwaves through Western culture, transforming lifestyles, worldviews, the arts, theoretical physics, technology, and the computer industry. If you think this is an exaggeration, read The Way of the Psychonaut, Stanislav Grof s well-crafted and beautifully written account of an era that may save humanity in spite of itself.” – Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., Alan Watts Professor of Psychology, Saybrook University, Oakland, California

“Stanislav Grof’s decades of ground-breaking exploration of consciousness and the healing potential of non-ordinary states has touched thousands of lives and inspired healing practitioners around the world. The growing acceptance of psychedelic research and treatment in mainstream medicine stems in large part from Stan s work, and the treatment methods used in modern clinical trials draw directly from what he has learned about the wise and skillful use of psychedelics. The Way of the Psychonaut is a valuable resource that will continue to teach and inspire psychedelic therapists into the future.” – Michael Mithoefer, M.D., and Annie Mithoefer, B.S.N., MDMA-assisted psychotherapy researchers
