“States of Mind: ESP and Altered States of Consciousness” by Adrian Parker

"Probably more than at any other time in history, there is today a preoccupation with personal relationships, subjective reality, and inner experience.

Useful in understanding some of the important ways your mind works before you start altering it."...>>
