Timothy Leary, Ph.D., has been a world-renowned psychologist, a defrocked professor, a relentless champion of brain change, a reputed drug guru, a stand-up philosopher, and a prisoner of the Nixon administration. He has been called "the most dangerous man on the planet."
While in prison, at times in solitary confinement, he wrote the first version of this book. ("I must confess at that time I was alienated, a bit draft and given to occasional fits of irritation.

Now revised and updated, Neuropolitique presents some of Dr. Leary's best ideas, his reflections on the past and his hope for the future.
