À propos de cette écoute
A personal narrative and guide to the safe, responsible use of MDMA for personal healing and social transformation
- Details the author’s 50 years of responsible experimentation with mind-altering substances and how Ecstasy has helped him become a better therapist
- Explains how he and his wife found Ecstasy to be the key to renewing and enriching their lives and marriage as they entered their senior years
- Describes what the experience actually feels like and provides protocols for the safe, responsible, recreational, and celebrational use of MDMA for individuals and groups
In a world that keeps us separate from each other, MDMA is the chemical of connection. Aptly known in popular culture as “Ecstasy,” MDMA helps us rediscover our own true loving nature, often obscured by the traumas of life. On its way to becoming a prescription medication due to groundbreaking research on its use to treat PTSD, Ecstasy can offer benefits for all adult life stages, from 20-somethings to seniors.
In this memoir and guide to safe use, Charles Wininger, a licensed psychoanalyst and mental health counselor, details the countless ways that Ecstasy has helped him become a better therapist and husband. He recounts his coming of age in the 1960s counterculture, his 50 years of responsible experimentation with mind-altering substances, and his immersion in the new psychedelic renaissance. He explains how he and his wife found Ecstasy to be the key to renewing and enriching their lives as they entered their senior years. It also strengthened the bonds of their marriage.
Countering the fearful propaganda that surrounds this drug, Wininger describes what the experience actually feels like and explores the value of Ecstasy and similar substances for helping psychologically healthy individuals live a more “optimal” life. He provides protocols for the responsible, recreational, and celebrational use of MDMA, including how to perfect the experience, maximize the benefits and minimize the risks, and how it may not be for everyone. He reveals how MDMA has revitalized his marriage, both erotically and emotionally, and describes how pleasure, fun, and joy can be profound bonding and transformative experiences.
Revealing MDMA’s versatility when it comes to bringing lasting renewal, pleasure, and inspiration to one’s life, Wininger shows that recognizing the transformative power of happiness-inducing experiences can be the first step on the path to healing.

Commentaires
"Wininger's book can throw open cosmic windows in even the most mundane reader". (Tom Robbins, author of nine novels including Even Cowgirls Get the Blues)
“A deeply personal story from a therapist who is done hiding in the chemical closet. Wininger says, ‘I’ve lived through it all, and now it all lives through me.’ In modeling responsible recreational MDMA use, he not only heals the shame that binds him, he helps to heal us all.” (Julie Holland, MD, editor of Ecstasy: The Complete Guide and author of Good Chemistry)
“Reading Wininger’s book, Listening to Ecstasy, is like a lovely conversation with a joyful, liberated person.... He and his wife are having enough fun in their seventies to rid aging of its anxieties.” (Peter Coyote, actor, author, and Zen priest)

Lyrical and very detailed
This book has definitely a lot to teach about good ways to use MDMA and harm reduction.
On the down sides, i though the beginning where the authors spends a lot of time about his youth is quite long and not so relevant to the theme of the book.
I wish this book would say more about the therapeutic use of MDMA but i also understand that the author has voluntarily chosen to go into details on this point and talks primarily about recreational use.
It was difficult for me to keep going after he mentioned Joe Dispenza as a center of interest of his fellow psychonauts because I see this man asked the king of toxic positivity and have seen first hand adepts of Joe Dispenza hurting others who went through difficult experiences with substances and have even been on the receiving end of such behaviours.
Still the author's experience is valuable and this book is full of interesting reflections written in a beautiful lyric way.
