Reviews

"Bone serves up an eye-opening examination of the science and benefits of psilocybin mushrooms . . . The elegant blend of scientific research, stories of individual mushroom users, and Bone's own experiences with the drug make for a study that's as eclectic as it is stimulating. This will expand readers' minds."
--Publishers Weekly

"Beautifully composed, Eugenia Bone's book is a trip in itself."
--Suzanne Simard, PhD, forest ecologist and author of Finding the Mother Tree

"Eugenia Bone does it again! She takes the reader on a deep dive into the rapidly emerging practice of psilocybin use with a balanced view toward benefits, potential pitfalls, and ever-expanding applications. I unabashedly recommend this book for all those contemplating or currently engaged with psilocybin mushrooms."
--Paul Stamets, author of Mycelium Running

"Finally a book that offers more answers than questions about the contemporary relationship between humans and ancient sacred mushrooms. Whether you're an experienced traveler or new to the journey, Eugenia takes us on a fun and fantastic much-needed trip."
--Giuliana Furci, founding director of the Fungi Foundation

"Eugenia Bone provides excellent and sage insights on every step of the psychedelic journey, from sourcing mushrooms through to dosing and even integrating the experiences afterward, all illustrated with some excellent trippers' tales. Everyone from seasoned freaks to the newly psy-curious will find something of interest here."
--Andy Letcher, PhD, author of Shroom: A Cultural History of the Magic Mushroom and senior lecturer at the University of Exeter

"As someone who has had an uncountable number of glorious trips and also has lost their damn mind, I've been waiting for a more balanced articulation of this psychedelic renaissance. With Have a Good Trip's focus on accuracy over hype or hysteria, we might not only avoid a trip to the psych ward but even make the most out of our experiences."
--Shane Mauss, comedian and host of the Here We Are podcast

"The sixties were a marvelous opening for those of us who survived tuning in to magic mushrooms, turning on and dropping out for a good chunk of our youth. But there were casualties along the way who never reintegrated. With the current psychedelic renaissance, Eugenia Bone's wise, witty, and scientifically grounded Have a Good Trip is a much-needed analysis of how some people open that illuminating door and not just survive but thrive."
--Art Goodtimes, five-term Green Party county commissioner in Colorado and poet-in-residence of the Telluride Mushroom Festival
