   The Universal Drive for Mind-Altering Substances

   

   A wide-ranging exploration of humanity’s longstanding drive to alter consciousness, this book surveys the biological, psychological and cultural reasons people seek intoxication and examines a broad array of substances and practices—from alcohol, tobacco and stimulants to psychedelics and ritualized, socially sanctioned intoxications—placing them in historical and cross-cultural context; it reviews scientific research on brain mechanisms, addiction and health effects, discusses motives such as curiosity, pleasure, escape and spiritual seeking, and considers implications for treatment, public policy and our understanding of why mind-altering experiences are a nearly universal part of human life.
