Description
An encyclopedia for the curious and courageous, The Book of Highs catalogs the hundreds of ways humans can alter consciousness, minus drugs and alcohol.
Drawn from cultures around the world, here are positive techniques—Self-Hypnosis, Alterations of Breathing, Fervent Prayer, Spinning. And here are “negative” techniques—Self-Flagellation, Sleep Deprivation, Fire Walking. Methods derived from religious and mystic traditions—Transcendental Meditation, Tea Ceremony, Tantric Sex. Methods that use devices, from the domestic Metronome Watching, to the state-of-the-art Brain-Wave Biofeedback, Electrodermal Activity (EDA), Ganzfeld Effect, and Psychedelic Bathtub.
Whether you’re looking for a life-changing adventure—like Skydiving—or something to do every day, just to change things up—like Zen Morning Laugh—The Book of Highs will get you there.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I already had heard of and how much I had yet to learn about. This is one of those books for the curious and with an open mind to explore many different ways to experience "highs". I have since reading, been exploring about 10 different highs that are fascinating and the book provides alternate materials to learn more about each of the highs you may be interested in. Let your mind run free and explore the many varied ways to experience altered states.

The Book of Highs is a good book if you want to get into an altered state of conciousness without actually doing drugs. (Which I think is a good thing, the not doing drugs part). There are different methods to attaining altered conciousness including meditation and self-hypnosis among others. There are also graphics which fit well with the book.
