My New Book--Hungry for Ecstasy

I have a new book that will be published this year, Hungry for Ecstasy: Trauma, the Brain, and the Influence of the Sixties.It is about people who cannot live comfortably in their own skin, who look for ways to get out of it, often taking life-threatening risks along the way to attain a state of ecstasy.You 'll read about just what kind of state of mind ecstasy is,the difference between the quieter ecstatic states, mystical states that are not sought but come to one nonetheless, and the more frenzied ecstasies that are sought. You'l read about the various means by which people get there, and my speculations on what happens in the brain along the way. You'll read about religious ecstasies, ecstasies of pain, murder and other ecstasies from hell, and creative ecstasies. You can also read about what you can do to deter someone you know who is on this dangerous addictive path, whether they your friend, family member, patient or cllient. The last chapter is specifically for psychotherapists.
