“Seventy years ago, Alejandro Jodorowsky came to Paris from his native Chile to ‘rescue surrealism.’ He saw the magic in life and wanted others to do the same. His journey led him to invent ‘psychotrance,’ which draws from the power of art to open up life and expand the way we live. With him, we learn to live as artists—and thus to heal our wounds, in ways only art can.” * Donatien Grau, editor in chief and artistic director of Alphabet Magazine * “Alejandro Jodorowsky sees life with the eyes of an eternal soul, living it in synchronicity, mixing reality and dreams, life and death.” * Youssef Nabil, artist and photographer * “This book is for everyone to read immediately. It will help all readers understand the complexity of human emotions.” * Marina Abramovic, conceptual and performance artist * “A man whose life has been defined by cosmic ambitions.” * The New York Times Magazine * “Alejandro Jodorowsky seamlessly and effortlessly weaves together the worlds of art, the confined social structure, and things we can only touch with an open heart and mind.” * Erykah Badu, singer and songwriter * “A legendary man of many trades, talents, and of passionate sincerity.” * Roger Ebert, American film critic, film historian, journalist, essayist, screenwriter, and author * “Jodorowsky is today’s true Renaissance man—a master of many mediums that all point directly towards a towering and imaginative vision replete with profound insights into the real by way of the surreal.” * John Zorn, composer * “Jodorowsky is a brilliant, wise, gentle, and cunning wizard with tremendous depth of imagination and crystalline insight into the human condition.” * Daniel Pinchbeck, author and founder of The Liminal Institute * “Alejandro Jodorowsky is a demiurge and an interpreter of our stories, always exploring further the understanding of both the beauty and complexity revealed by humankind.” * Diana Widmaier Picasso, French art historian specializing in modern art *
