About the Author
JAMES FADIMAN is so O.G. in the microdosing field that he was introduced to psychedelics by Ram Dass six decades ago as a student at Harvard and compared notes with Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey. In 1963, while working at Stanford's Augmentation Research Center, which did research on networked computing, Fadiman was also part of the team for the psychedelics in problem-solving experiment at the International Foundation for Advanced Study. Fifteen years ago, he began compiling thousands of stories from microdosers who used his protocol or schedule, and now has the largest qualitative database on microdosing in the world. He's been the godfather to anyone seriously interested in the field, from Michael Pollan to novelist Ayelet Waldman, who was coached by Fadiman in microdosing and successfully treated what she considered to be incurable depression, which she wrote about in A REALLY GOOD DAY.
