The Divine Spark — Graham Hancock

In The Divine Spark, bestselling author Graham Hancock assembles a suite of contemporary thinkers to examine one of humanity’s most enigmatic frontiers: consciousness itself. Their essays move with clarity and precision, exploring how altered states—particularly those opened by psychedelics—may offer rare insight into creativity, perception, and the unseen architectures of the mind.

Through perspectives ranging from scientific research to visionary experience, the book traces subtle connections between human cognition, the survival of life on Earth, interspecies communication, and emerging approaches in medicine. The result is a considered and elegantly layered exploration of the supernatural and the deeply interior.

Featuring contributions from leading voices including Dennis McKenna, Rick Strassman, Russell Brand, Rick Doblin, and others, this 320-page paperback offers a gentle yet compelling entry into one of the most vital conversations of our time.
