Higher Love is both an emotionally riveting and spiritualy profound memoir of heartbreak, healing-hopefulness from author and speaker Alyson Mead. The author takes us on an adventure into the life of a wild, courageous woman in love and trace highs and lows that she experiences as well her psychedelic ones.
The author writes about his bumpy road of relationships and addiction in an unflinching manner, only to be saved by a deep experience with psychedelics. A journey from the existential depths of despair to spiritual heights, this memoir shows just how high resilience can carry a person.
The prose is so poetic and often lyrical, making it not too difficult to get lost in the author's words. Of particular interest are his written paintings of libidinous trips on acid which propose an intriguing view into mental (in)obtainability.
Another differentiator of “Higher Love” is that it thoughtfully moves beyond love and trauma discussing the spiritual dimensions to relationships. As the author learns to face their own darkness and come out of it a more powerful figure, we are reminded that healing is always possible.
In short, “Higher Love” is an essential read for those interested in psychedelic culture and memoirs of personal growth. Get ready for an adventure that will change you, ignite the flame and possibly fundamentally alter how think indefinitely
"I just finished reading 'Higher Love' by Anne Kiehl Friedman and I'm still reeling from the experience. This memoir is a raw, honest, and deeply personal account of the author's journey through heartbreak, self-discovery, and healing.
Anne's writing is beautiful and evocative, making it easy to become fully immersed in her story. She shares her struggles, fears, and epiphanies with unflinching honesty, and her vulnerability is inspiring.
What I loved most about this book is its ability to balance darkness and light. Anne confronts her inner demons and shares her painful experiences, but she also reveals her resilience, strength, and capacity for growth.
If you've ever experienced heartbreak, felt lost, or sought solace in travel and self-discovery, this memoir will resonate deeply with you. Anne's story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible and that love can transform us in profound ways.
Overall, I highly recommend 'Higher Love' to anyone looking for a thought-provoking, emotionally charged, and deeply human read."
