Ira Israel helps readers to recognize the exteriors we have manifested as children so that we can overcome the feelings of anxiety that these conflicting energies bring into our adult lives. After accepting and transcending these states of being we are then free to be our authentic selves.

They also offer an in-depth history of psychedelic research and explore the links between psychiatric drugs and mental health.
