The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley

3.0

An interesting book, but only if you're already familiar with Aldous Huxley and somewhat interested in the topic (the effects of psychedelics on human mind and perception). The writing is a bit hard to follow, more like an academic article. But I was intrigued by ideas and reflections of the author, so I kept reading with pleasure. The book is also rich with informative facts especially regarding art and literature. At some points, it was very eye-opening and led me to question some things that I have never considered before. Additionally, the connection that Huxley builds in the second part between psychedelics and spirituality was quite interesting and worth exploring with all its details even if you might not agree. Overall, it was quite enjoyable reading !
