Summary
Ram Dass tells here, for the first time, the full arc of his remarkable life.
Perhaps no other teacher has sparked the fires of as many spiritual seekers in the West as Ram Dass. If you've ever embraced the phrase “be here now”, practiced meditation or yoga, tried psychedelics, or supported anyone in a hospice, prison, or homeless center - then the story of Ram Dass is also part of your story.
From his birth in 1931 to his luminous later years, Ram Dass saw his life as just one incarnation of many. This memoir puts us in the passenger seat with the one-time Harvard psychologist and lifelong risk-taker Richard Alpert, who loved to take friends on wild rides on his Harley and test nearly every boundary - inner or outer - that came his way.
Here, Ram Dass shares his life’s odyssey in intimate detail: how he struggled with issues of self-identity and sexuality in his youth, pioneered psychedelic research, and opened the doorways to Eastern spiritual practices. In 1967 he trekked to India and met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba. He returned with a perspective on spirituality and psychology that changed millions.
Populated by a cast of luminaries ranging from Timothy Leary to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Allen Ginsberg to Sharon Salzberg, Aldous Huxley to Alan Watts - this intimate memoir chronicles the cultural and spiritual transformations Ram Dass experienced that resonate with us to this day, a journey from the mind to the heart, from the ego to the soul.
Before, after, and along these waypoints, listeners will encounter many other adventures and revelations - each ringing with the potential to awaken the universal, loving divine that links us to this beloved teacher and all of us to each other.

A most inspirational tale
Ram Das lived one of the most interesting lives of the 20th (and part of the 21st) century. He also live one of the most inspirational ones. As someone who found psychedelics to be a gateway to spirituality I identify with his quest so powerfully. If only more people had the courage of conviction to follow their truth as staunchly as he did. Beyond the psychedelics, the teachings, finding God and guru Ram Das lived in the shadow of a family who struggled to understand him with power structures he battled to conform to. He also had a lifelong difficulty openly expressing his sexuality. How he overcame these and what his struggles gives us in learnings and wisdom is profound and heartwarming. I love him and I loved listening to this book. Hari Om Ram Das

Magical
It’s great to be able to experience eastern religion from the context of an autobiography written by a westerner and I love the way the version of spirituality being endorsed is so accepting and respectful of all religions, truly a unifying, powerful force.
