Ten Trips

A collection of tales from the far frontiers of psychedelic experience . . . superb . . . brilliant -- Charles Foster * TLS *
Canny and somewhat sceptical ... rigorous and penetrating ... illuminating ... this is a wonderful book, a journey into the nature and potential of consciousness itself, and of life on this troubled and monopolised planet * Literary Review *
Philosophical and darkly humorous ... for all the mystical experiences [psychedelics] afford, divesting them of their shadow side does seekers a disservice, Mitchell holds * Spectator *
A powerful reminder that psychedelics can’t be made sense of entirely within a framework of chemical interactions in the brain. We need to view them as something potent, to be respected * New Scientist *
An incisive, deeply personal and beautifully written account of the power, the uses and the modern misuses of psychedelics. Highly recommended -- Anil Seth, author of Being You
An original and thrilling investigation into psychedelics and the claims that currently surround them, achieving profound insights into their essential qualities -- Mike Jay, author of Psychonauts
Utterly compelling. Some books are in a category of their own and this is one them. Reading it is like having an out of body experience -- Mark Miodownik, author of Stuff Matters
Beguiling, captivating, mind-expanding. It's impossible to read this book and not be tempted to replicate some of its wild, sanity-stretching forays into the peculiarities of human perception -- Stuart Ritchie, author of Science Fictions
A dazzling, timely book, as deep and poignant as it is madcap and hilarious -- Professor Mark Lythgoe, Director of the Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging, University College London
A hair-raising hurtle of a ride into the belly of the psychedelic renaissance, fuelled by spectacular prose -- Henry Shukman, author of One Blade of Grass
In Ten Trips, Andy Mitchell captures psychedelics' gonzo spirit and speaks to the psychonaut in all of us -- Katherine MacLean, author Midnight Water: A Psychedelic Memoir
Eagle-eyed, poetic and always playful, Ten Trips is chock-full of profane illumination -- Tehseen Noorani, Honorary Senior Lecturer, School of Pharmacy, University of Auckland
A gifted writer with a great ear for dialogue. Mitchell is not afraid to put himself in the telling, and it is this that makes Ten Trips true and real -- Michael Taussig, author of Mastery of Non-Mastery in the Age of Meltdown
Mitchell's decapod of delirious drug experiences is an antidote to the hype and a rallying cry to keep psychedelics . . . psychedelic -- Josh Hardman, Psychedelic Alpha
The psychedelic world has been waiting for this book: a sceptic's account of the allure of psychedelics -- Erika Dyck, Professor in History of Health & Social Justice, University of Saskatchewan
