Well-told tale about 4 men who shaped post-1950's thinking. One of those hidden stories that has had a big effect on how we live now.

"That would not stop the research nor would it stop the party."
For as much good as they did, these guys probably stuffed drug research for 20-40 years. Seemed they were more interested in getting rekt than the actual science of it.
Well written and researched, very interesting.

Did not like this book overall. It was informative in parts, but overall was slow and boring.

This was one of the most engaging books I've read in a long time.

An interesting look at how the science experiments begun by two men at Harvard ended up changing the world.
Not sure why the four men (including the man who got Leary and Alpert kicked out of Harvard and another guru)each got a nickname. The full names were still used.
A little confusing the way the narrative jumped around, even within different sections. Overall, a good, seemingly well-researched book.
