Thought inspiring
This was an extremely good listen, a complete contrast to the psychedelic genre of books we get today, pre governmental input

Mind opening
A stunning short book about the possibilities that exist to expand your knowledge and your mind. We should never stop learning or trying to understand ourselves and our reason for being. A fabulous listen.

Fascinating account and thoughts on the subject
This book was on my reading list for a long time. I enjoyed listening to it and found the account of his experience to be very interesting and well described. I particularly enjoyed the very last few minutes, where he describes his thoughts and views around this area of knowledge and competency after he had finished the account of his experience. It is also a piece of history, as well as being interesting in itself.

Brilliant
I really enjoyed this book. To me, the narrator read the book in the style and tone of the time in which it was written. Very good to hear the author’s experience straight from the horses mouth rather than embellished.

Great introduction into Aldous Huxley’s work 👌
A good book, an interesting perspective regarding his analysis on mescaline and its effects! I recommend it 👍

A Classic
Anyone who struggles with the answer to the meaning of life should read/listen to this book. Short but packs tremendous punch.
I will definitely read/listen to it again. I had to order a hard copy for my shelf.

A well crafted essay
I am always interested to understand what motivates great writers, and The Doors of Perception provides some useful insights into the gifted mind of Aldous Huxley.
Undoubtedly TDoP is a seminal work and provides a rich and purposeful critique of one man's experience of a hallucinogen currently prohibited under prevailing law. The text is very well written with Huxley expertly marshalling his facts to effectively communicate his ideas.
With that said, Huxley injects his academic style into what is ostensibly a personal journey of enlightenment, and his use of language does not always illustrate his passion. Part of this might be due to the era in which he is writing with its stricter publishing guidelines. This is made worse by the narration which is competent, though often feels a too safe and uninvested.
But definitely a classic with many takeaways to reflect upon.

À BBC AMERICA PRODUCTION
Thank you for the opportunity to have such an interesting addition to my virtual LIBRARY.
Something almost impossible to think of, say - a quarter of a century ago. Definitely puts me in the position of declaring I 💙 how times have changed in my favor.

A door in the wall
A poetic description of the usually ineffable and mystical journey of the psychedelic experience. Huxley’s encounter with Mescaline is a joy to listen to and is a must read for any fellow travellers of the mind. If you know, you know…
