Andy Mitchell

Andy Mitchell is a British writer specialising in mind-expanding non-fiction. Ten Trips recounts his experiments with ten different psychedelics — from magic mushrooms to 5-MeO-DMT — with the tone of a thoughtful sceptic rather than a hype-man, exploring what the science of psychedelics can and cannot promise.

Mitchell, previously a Cambridge researcher on the philosophy of mind-modified perception and a speaker in the depth-psych community, writes vivid, honest narrative science. His book is praised for bringing psychedelic culture to the page without either dread or evangelism, and it has been called the most grounded book about hallucinations yet written.
