Ayahuasca: An Executive’s Enlightenment

Author: Michael Sanders

 Deep in the Amazon jungle, Ayahuasca: An Executive’s Enlightenment chronicles a young man’s self-transcendence to become one with the Mother of the Rainforest and the creator of the universe. A successful advertising executive, Michael Sanders travels to Peru on a quest for clarity and enlightenment. He partakes in three shamanistic ceremonies with the psychedelic plant medicine known as Ayahuasca. What Michael experiences shatters the paradigm of reality in which he formerly operated, and opens him to new ways of thinking about life and the universe.

Author Comment

“Guy Crittenden played an instrumental role in the editing and publication of my book Ayahuasca: An Executive’s Enlightenment, which went on to become a bestseller in 2015. Guy treated my writing with great care to ensure that I’d share the story’s highest form with the world. He encouraged the reduction or removal of certain sections, and guided me to expand on concepts and plot points he believed would add value for readers. He toggled between fine details like grammar and syntax while maintaining the overall narrative as paramount. Guy was sensitive, collaborative, and disciplined throughout the many-months process, and was incredible to work with.After the release of my book, Guy purchased 30 copies of the book to share with his friends and often posted about it on social media. Guy was much more than just an editor. He was a passionate collaborator and advocate with whom I’m grateful to have worked.”
