"Wonderful, fascinating...Harner really knows what he's talking about."

— Stanislav Grof, author of The Adventure of Self-Discovery

"Harner has impeccable credentials, both as an academic and as a practicing shaman. Without doubt (since the recent death of Mircea Eliade) the world's leading authority on shamanism."
