“Personally, I’ve been looking forward to dying all my life” says LSD guru
Timothy Leary at the start of his final book. Written after being diagnosed with
prostate cancer, Design for Dying is Leary’s unconventional philosophy on death.
Witty and irreverent, Leary blends ancient insight with high-tech science to
show us that death need not be a gloomy affair. Published by HarperCollins,
£15.99, ISBN 0722535457.
