Trippy: The Peril and Promise of Medicinal Psychedelics by Ernesto Londoño is a compelling blend of memoir and investigative journalism from the veteran New York Times correspondent. In this deeply personal and meticulously reported book, Londoño recounts how his own journey through depression led him to participate in ayahuasca retreats and sparked a wide-ranging exploration of the burgeoning field of psychedelic therapy. Along the way he introduces readers to Indigenous traditions, clinicians, veterans with PTSD, and others challenging our understanding of trauma and healing, while probing both the potential and the pitfalls of medicinal psychedelics. The result is a thoughtful, nuanced look at a rapidly evolving frontier in mental-health treatment and a memoir of transformation from one of journalism’s most insightful voices.
