Trip

Da journalist og radiovært Kasper Lundberg lammes af en livskrise, beslutter han sig for at udforske psykedelisk terapi. Det bliver en intens jagt på et bedre liv gennem en hemmelig verden af ulovlig behandling i Danmark. Kasper prøver ayahuasca med shamaner på Amager, et sønderrivende svampetrip hos en psykolog, mikrodoserer LSD og sprænger sine seksuelle rammer med MDMA. Oplevelserne med de forbudte stoffer flettes elegant sammen med forskning fra Danmark og udland samt interviews med både klienter og terapeuter. TRIP. Et år med psykedelisk terapi udfordrer vores syn på terapi, medicin og menneskelig transformation. En bog for dig, der er nysgerrig på grænselandet mellem videnskab og spiritualitet – og som tør stille spørgsmål ved, hvad vi egentlig ved om sindet.

Part memoir, part history, part journalistic exposé, Trip is a look at psychedelic drugs, literature, and alienation from one of the twenty-first century's most innovative novelists--The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test for a new generation. A Vintage Original. While reeling from one of the most creative--but at times self-destructive--outpourings of his life, Tao Lin discovered the strange and exciting work of Terence McKenna. McKenna, the leading advocate of psychedelic drugs since Timothy Leary, became for Lin both an obsession and a revitalizing force. In Trip, Lin's first book-length work of nonfiction, he charts his recovery from pharmaceutical drugs, his surprising and positive change in worldview, and his four-year engagement with some of the hardest questions: Why do we make art? Is the world made of language? What happens when we die? And is the imagination more real than the universe? In exploring these ideas and detailing his experiences with psilocybin, DMT, salvia, and cannabis, Lin takes readers on a trip through nature, his own past, psychedelic culture, and the unknown.

A woman embarks on an odyssey through the afterlife to help her son, who is literally and figuratively lost at sea: a hilarious and deeply moving voyage of the body and the mind. Sandra dies suddenly at a death conference in Nepal attended by academics and mystics. Days later, back in America, her teenage son, Trip, runs away with a man who picks him up on the side of a road. Sandra tries to get a message back to Trip through the mystics, but the mystics are distracted, and her son and the strange man set out to sea. Amie Barrodale's first novel features restless souls, Buddhist deities, divorcees in recovery programs, arguing academics, uncomprehending school principals, and treatment centers for troubled teenagers. It journeys from body to body, through life and death and back again. It tells the story of a mother and son who find other people hard to understand and who are themselves misunderstood. Guiding this wild, unpredictable journey is deep devotion: the desire to save a child and to be a good mother despite it all. Wide-eyed with wonder, blazingly funny and achingly moving, Trip brings us the deeper meaning of The Tibetan Book of the Dead : the past is a memory, the future is a projection, the present is gone before we can see it.
