Ways To Go Beyond And Why They Work by Rupert Sheldrake

An exploration of how varied practices—such as athletic disciplines, learning from animals, fasting, pilgrimage, prayer, celebration of holy days, and carefully framed psychedelic experiences—can reliably shift consciousness, enhance well-being, and deepen a sense of connection. Blending scientific studies with history and personal testimony, it outlines plausible mechanisms involving attention, intention, community, and physiology, challenges reductive assumptions about mind and matter, and offers practical suggestions for safely and skeptically trying these approaches in everyday life.
