The Way of the Psychonaut Vol. 1: Encyclopedia for Inner Journeys

by Stanislav Grof M.D. (Author), Richard Tarnas PhD (Foreword) Format: Paperback
4.8 out of 5 stars (311)

Purchase options and add-ons

The Way of the Psychonaut, Volume 1 is one of the most important books ever written about the human psyche and the spiritual quest. 

The new understandings were made possible thanks to Albert Hofmann’s discovery of LSD―the microscope and telescope of the human psyche―as well as other psychedelic substances. 

This comprehensive work is a tour de force through the worlds of psychology and psychotherapy, Holotropic Breathwork, maps of the psyche, birth, sex, and death, psychospiritual rebirth, the roots of trauma, spiritual emergency and transpersonal experiences, karma and reincarnation, higher creativity, great art, and archetypes. Written in his late eighties, at the height of his magnificent career, The Way of the Psychonaut is possibly Grof’s greatest contribution. The commanding breadth and depth of his knowledge is astounding, the tone of his writing easy and accessible, and his narratives brightened with amusing anecdotes, intriguing personal accounts, and brilliant case studies. Grof reviews the history of depth psychotherapy, the important revisions that are needed to make it more effective, and why the inner quest is such an essential pursuit. 

As one of the fathers of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, its most experienced practitioner, and deeply deserving of a Nobel Prize in medicine, in these two volumes Grof has successfully unveiled a new and sweeping paradigm in self-exploration and healing. 

The vast and practical knowledge in this book is sure to be an invaluable and treasured resource for all serious seekers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Stan Grof is a giant amongst us and we are fortunate to stand on his shoulders. Future generations will forever acknowledge him for helping us wake up from our collective hypnosis that we call everyday reality. I stayed up all night to read Stan Grof's magnificent magnum opus." — Deepak Chopra, MD, author and public speaker

"The Way of the Psychonaut is a compelling account of Stan Grof's magnificent life work. No one has done more than he has during the past half century to further our understanding of human nature and its developmental possibilities. He is a great explorer, a prime builder of the new world view emerging today, and one of the greatest scientists of our times." — Michael Murphy, co-founder, The Esalen Institute

"If there was ever any question about it before, with the publication of his encyclopedia, it is beyond all reasonable doubt: Stan Grof is the greatest psychonaut of the modern age." — Ervin Laszlo, philosopher and two-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee
