Psychedelics for spiritual, therapeutic, and problem-solving use • Presents practices for safe and successful psychedelic voyages, including the benefits of having a guide and how to be a guide • Reviews the value of psychedelics for healing and self-discovery as well as how LSD has facilitated scientific and technical problem-solving • Reveals how microdosing (ultr-low doeses) improve cognitive functioning, emotional balance, and physical stamina • This year 600,000 people in the U.S. alone will try LSD for the the first time, joining the 23 million who have already experimented with this substance Called “America’s wisest and most respected authority on psychedelics and their use,” James Fadiman has been involved with psychedelic research since the 1960s. In this guide to the immediate and long-term effects of psychedelic use for spiritual (high dose), therapeutic (moderate dose), and problem-solving (low dose and microdose) purposes, Fadiman outlines best practices for safe, sacred entheogenic voyages learned through his more than 40 years of experience--from the benefits of having a sensitive guide during a session (and how to be one) to the importance of the setting and pre-session intention. Fadiman reviews the newest as well as the neglected research into the psychotherapeutic value of visionary drug use for increased personal awareness and a host of serious medical conditions, including his recent study of the reasons for and results of psychedelic use among hundreds of students and professionals. He reveals new uses for LSD and other psychedelics, including microdosing, extremely low doses, for improved cognitive functioning and emotional balance. Cautioning that psychedelics are not for everyone, he dispels the myths and misperceptions about psychedelics circulating in textbooks and clinics as well as on the internet. Exploring the life-changing experiences of Ram Dass, Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley, and Huston Smith as well as Francis Crick and Steve Jobs, Fadiman shows how psychedelics, used wisely, can lead not only to healing but also to scientific breakthroughs and spiritual epiphanies.

(Review Package for the book, Compass: Your Guide for Leadership Development and Coaching) Continuing research from the Center for Creative Leadership reports what kind of actions contribute to effective leadership—the kind of leadership that generates an inclusive process among managers, peers, employees, and senior leaders, and is marked by direction, alignment, and commitment. Guiding a team or an entire organization toward these outcomes requires competency—an interrelated set of knowledge, skills, and perspectives that address predictable and unpredictable situations. This book is for leaders and managers looking to develop competency in themselves and others. It is also for training and development professionals, either inside companies or working as independent consultants, who can use the book as a coaching tool and as a blueprint for leader development plans. For anyone concerned with his or her development as a leader, dedicated to developing their people for more responsibility, and committed to organizational sustainability, this book can be a valuable tool. This book distills the characteristics, actions, and perspectives at the heart of creative leadership. Its developmental opportunities and coaching tactics support a single purpose: to help you—and the people you develop—become what is needed in any circumstance to galvanize teams, groups, and organizations and help people move toward a thriving future. Achieving competency isn’t a check mark on a list. It’s a step toward creative leadership—leadership capable of adapting, inventing, and renewing itself amid the uncertainty, volatility, and ambiguity of a continually changing world.

Understanding the visitor experience provides essential insights into how museums can affect people’s lives. Personal drives, group identity, decision-making and meaning-making strategies, memory, and leisure preferences, all enter into the visitor experience, which extends far beyond the walls of the institution both in time and space. Drawing upon a career in studying museum visitors, renowned researcher John Falk attempts to create a predictive model of visitor experience, one that can help museum professionals better meet those visitors’ needs. He identifies five key types of visitors who attend museums and then defines the internal processes that drive them there over and over again. Through an understanding of how museums shape and reflect their personal and group identity, Falk is able to show not only how museums can increase their attendance and revenue, but also their meaningfulness to their constituents.
