Used for thousands of years by indigenous tribes of the rain forest, the mystical brew ayahuasca is now becoming increasingly popular in the West. Psychologist Rachel Harris here shares her own healing experiences and draws on her original research (the largest study of ayahuasca use in North America) into the powerful medicine's effects on depression, addiction, PTSD, and anxiety.Â
In this wide-ranging and personal exploration, Harris details ayahuasca's risks and benefits, helping listeners clarify their intentions and giving psychotherapists a template for transformative care and healing.

"Initially, this book was recommended by a friend ... so as someone who has been experimenting with "the medicine," I ordered it from Amazon. Ten days later, another copy came to me in the mail from the publisher with a press kit to promote the idea of me having Dr. Harris as a guest on my Pathways Radio program and podcast. This was too much of a synchronicity, so I immediately asked my producer to book the interview and began reading the book.
Far from just another reading assignment to prepare for an interview program, I was taken in by the readability of the book, considering the author’s formidable credentials as a scientist. I became fascinated by the author's unique research study, which revealed healing effects that Ayahuasca would produce over time, long after the cathartic ceremony itself. And many of the author's psychotherapy clients described the internal experiences I had been noticing in myself during the 6 month period when I had tried it a few times. I’ve read a few books on Ayahuasca, but this one was not only academically interesting, it deepened the impacts of my own personal experience.
The book strikes an eloquent balance between the scientific and the personal, including the author's own experiences, which were graciously but non-pretentiously shared. I highly recommend this book (as well as my Pathways interview -- free download).

P.S. I have since bought another five copies of the book for friends and a counselor! :-)"

P.S. I have since bought another five copies of the book for friends and a counselor! -) - Must read for those considering using this medicine! Also must read Joe Tafur's book The Fellowship of the River. After reading these two books you will be WELL informed about how to approach this sacred medicine, and that is with the utmost respect. This is not for the faint of heart. Even if you are already a journeyer these books will serve you well. Better than Terrence McKenna, yes. Much more useful, practical and informative.
- I tend to have reservations about reading, listening to, taking advice from people who say “do this or do that†yet have no real experience in doing “this or that.†In more familiar terms, I would not take financial advice from broke authors.
However, Rachel’s book was written from not only a practitioners voice but from a patient/participants voice as well; a rare treasure! I read a lot of personal growth and development books and this by far was one of the most powerful, raw and moving works I’ve ever stumbled upon.
I, personally, have never done any psychedelics but was searching for some sort of relief for my partner who suffers from significant depression, and is becoming more unresponsive to traditional medications. After reading this I now know more than I ever thought possible without traveling myself. If my partner is willing and we can locate a therapist who is familiar with plant medicines, I hope she will consider a journey for healing herself...after she reads “Listening to Ayahuasca “of course. - This book is unique because the author wears so many hats- therapist, participant in ceremonies, skeptic of spirits, friend, convert and cautioner. I deeply enjoyed reading it- she's transparent throughout about her own blindspots and imperfections. She asks a lot of the questions I have wanted to ask of shamans- so that made this read doubly satisfying.
- In this wonderful and engaging book, Rachel Harris leads the reader on a fascinating journey about ayahuasca. I loved the conversational tone, the personal insights, and the wealth of material not available anywhere else. As a psychologist, a researcher, and thoughtful partiipant-observer, Harris writes about what she calls the full awareness of magical realism in the ayahuasca experience. This book is a must-have for adventurers interested in ayahuasca and for people interested in the helpful psychological reach of shamanic and herbal remedies.
- Regardless of whether you are already listening to Ayahuasca, have plans to tune in, or are simply interested in an alternative medicine that is cloaked in mysticism, you will find this book captivating. Dr. Harris presents the results of her groundbreaking study in a manner equally accessible to academicians and the lay person. But this book is much more than the presentation of unusual research findings. Beautifully written, it is a story of people wanting, and frequently finding, their way to a better life. It is the spiritual journey of a woman whose honesty, caring and intelligence shines through every page.
- There's isn't anything that I did not appreciate about this book. It's as if you are having a conversation with Dr. Harris as she explains and teaches you what she has discovered over the years of her research (and personal experiences). It was a fast read, even with all my highlighting and notes. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is...well, if you are reading this review you must have a slight interest, get the book, you will not regret it.
- Beautiful, wonderful compilation of the health benefits, challenges, research and and healing experiences of ayahuasca. Thank you to the author for listening to the medicine and undergoing the research that is compiled in this book. The world needs this plant medicine’s healing. If you feel called to this realm or form of healing I highly recommend this book.
