His biography takes us on a journey through the 20th century: From his mystical nature experiences as a child to his discovery of LSD and psilocybin at the Sandoz company in Basel, from his adventurous travels to his long twilight years, which were marked by a turn to natural philosophy and an exceedingly rich social life. The authors recount the eventful history of LSD, which after its discovery became the subject of numerous clinical studies, but also of obscure experiments. They trace how LSD became the fuel of the American youth and hippie movements in the 1960s, preparing the ground for innovative forms of therapy.
