Why read it?
1 author picked The Way of the Shaman as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is one of my favorite books about Shamanism.
Harner knows very well what shamanism is, as he experienced it himself many times in the Amazonian forestay and is one of the first academic anthropologists to experience altered states of consciousness and shamanism firsthand himself, and he recommended it to the world!
I am familiar with very few professors who are so bold, straightforward, and devoid of bullsh*t. He admires shamanism, and this is clear from the book. He also gives some practical examples of how to practice shamanism, which can be very useful.
From Ran's list on altered states of consciousness and shamanism.
