This book revisits the timeless wisdom of Huxley, Watts, Ram Dass, and others, presenting it with fresh relevance for today’s spiritual seekers. Sawyer skilfully unpacks the core ideas of perennial philosophy—a perspective once popular for its unifying view of mystical traditions and consciousness expansion through practices like meditation, yoga, and psychedelics. While this philosophy faded from the spotlight in the 1980s, Sawyer argues for its renewed significance amid today’s psychedelic renaissance. His engaging narrative cuts through philosophical jargon, making the book accessible to anyone exploring mindfulness, spiritual awakening, or self-realisation, whether through traditional paths like Zen and Sufism or more contemporary, DIY approaches. A must-read for those curious about the intersections of ancient wisdom and modern spirituality
