To a generation in revolt against authority, "Tune in, turn on, drop out" was a mantra, and its popularizer, Dr. Timothy Leary, a guru. A charismatic and brilliant psychologist, Leary became intrigued, and then obsessed, by the effects of psychedelic drugs in the 1960s while teaching at Harvard. What began as research into human consciousness turned into a mission to alter consciousness itself. Timothy Leary is the first major biography of one of the most controversial figures in postwar America.

The author gets in the way
Revisado: 09-21-11
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
People who hate Tim Leary would like this book. Through the book, the author's animosity toward and prejudice against Leary become evident. By the end it becomes clear that the author's personal encounters with Leary left the author feeling small and insignificant. This book sometimes feels like the author's attempt to get back at Leary. It was unfortunate for me as I began the book not knowing much about Leary and I just wanted to learn about his life as opposed to be caught in what sometimes reads like a self-righteous rant of an insecure and inferior mind.
What did you like best about this story?
This was my first exposure to Leary. He had a fascinating and unlikely life that was intriguing to glimpse into.
Any additional comments?
It is worthwhile learning about Leary, but not from Robert Greenfield.
