About James Fadiman
James Fadiman was born on May 27, 1939. He studied social relations at Harvard University and earned his master's degree and doctorate in psychology at Stanford University. His friend Ram Dass, who had been his adviser at Harvard, introduced him to psychedelics in Paris in 1961. He went on to conduct early studies of LSD in therapy and problem-solving, and later became a researcher and advocate of microdosing. Fadiman was one of the founders of the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, an institution that was later renamed Sofia University. His books include The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide and Your Symphony of Selves.
