Produktbeschreibung

"It's Hard to Explain, but...": What Self-Regulated Psychedelic Use Teaches Us about the Social and the Spiritual assesses the intersection of social dynamics and spirituality, emphasizing personal stories related to psychedelic use. This text scrutinizes aspects of human experience, delving into the influences on individual pain, existence, and the link between material and spiritual realms. The book is structured to blend empirical evidence with theoretical insights. Offering narratives from a broad demographic spectrum, it dissects the motivations and outcomes of psychedelic use, challenging the traditional focus on specific social groups. The discourse embodies a comprehensive integration of social identity and spiritual experiences. Ideal for courses in existential sociology, the sociology of drug use, and qualitative research methods, "It's Hard to Explain, but..." is suited for both undergraduate and graduate studies. It addresses human behavior and constructs within social and existential contexts, equipping students to understand the complexities of non-clinical psychedelic use and its significance in examining the human condition.
