“If I am the father of LSD, Stan Grof is the godfather. Nobody has
contributed as much as Stan for the development of my problem
child.”
*Dr. Albert Hofmann, research chemist and author of LSD: My Problem
Child*
"This beautiful book is one of the most heartfelt and comprehensive
explorations ever written about the life work of Dr. Stanislav
Grof. Readers will find it to be a cornucopia of information and
celebration of one of the great explorers and researchers of our
age—a must-read for anyone interested in psychotherapy and depth
psychology, psychedelics, breathwork, shamanism, comparative
religion, and the emerging new paradigm in science."
*Renn Butler, PhD, director of Grof Studies Graduate Programs and
author of Pathways to Wholeness*
“If I am the father of LSD, Stan Grof is the godfather. Nobody has
contributed as much as Stan for the development of my problem
child.”
*Albert Hofmann, Ph.D., research chemist and author of LSD: My
Problem Child*
“A rich and exciting history, offering inspiring insight and
multiple dimensions of one of the greatest pioneers of modern
consciousness.”
*Jack Kornfield, Ph.D., author of The Wise Heart*
“Stan Grof may have contributed as much to our understanding of the
human mind, its potentials, pathologies, and possibilities, as
Freud or Jung or Maslow. We will be exploring the far-reaching
implications of his many discoveries—so beautifully described and
acknowledged in this book—for decades.”
*Roger Walsh, M.D., Ph.D., professor at the University of
California, Irvine*
“Stan is the primary catalyst of the psychedelic renaissance. He
kept the psychedelic flame alive in the dark decades of the global
suppression of psychedelic research. This book is a gift of love
from Brigitte to Stan and from Brigitte to the world.”
*Rick Doblin, Ph.D., founder and president of the Multidisciplinary
Association for Psychedelic Studi*
“Stan, you are a light and inspiration to me and many others. Your
far-sighted and prophetic work is helping to transform our culture
for the better.”
*Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D., author of Ways to Go Beyond and Why They
Work*
“Brigitte’s creative homage to Stan is a book of treasures for all
those who have been influenced and inspired by this extraordinary
thinker, visionary, and healer: the wonderful personal photos, the
history and memories, the loving tributes from friends and
colleagues, and the long interview, in which he shares his newly
clarified understanding of the human psyche, revising his
cartography to reflect his recognition of the superordinate role of
the archetypes as they inform the perinatal matrices, the COEX
systems, and the transpersonal.”
*Richard Tarnas, professor of philosophy, cosmology, and
consciousness at the California Institute of*
“There are few people in the world today who have made a truly
fundamental discovery not only about the world but also about us
and our real selves. Stan Grof is one of these people. His thoughts
and work will live many times more than him to benefit our
understanding of life, mind, and that deep layer that we call
psyche.”
*Ervin Laszlo, Ph.D., philosopher of science and systems
theorist*
“Stan changed the course of psychedelic history and touched the
lives of a generation. The pictures included alone are a treasure,
and the tributes give glimpses into the psychedelic community that
has surrounded him.”
*Christopher M. Bache, Ph.D., author of LSD and the Mind of the
Universe*
