Sean writes with clarity and humility, a truly balanced and trustworthy voice.' * Dr Rosalind Watts, clinical psychologist * 'If you’d like to understand the full landscape of the psychedelic revival—the good, the not so good, the absurd, and the wonderful—you could not find a better guide and a better guidebook.
