Go Where There Is No Path
For all who dare to go off the beaten track, this is the inspirational, power-packed playbook for transforming your life and your world?from a young, Black social entrepreneur whose dorm-room tech startup, Scholly, has helped millions pay for college and access unprecedented opportunity. Christopher Gray grew up in deep poverty in Birmingham, Alabama. An academic star, he had every qualification for attending a top college?except for the financial means. Desperate, Gray headed off the beaten path, applying for every scholarship he could find. His hustle resulted in awards of 1.3 million dollars and inspired him to create a startup called Scholly, an app that matches college applicants with millions of dollars in scholarships that often go unclaimed. As a senior at Drexel University, Gray appeared on Shark Tank and, in the most heated fight in the show's history, was challenged on whether his app was a charity or a profitable business. Both, he insisted, proposing a new paradigm for social entrepreneurship and netting deals from Lori Greiner and Daymond John. At the time Scholly had 90,000 users. Today the app has 4 million subscribers who have won scholarships totaling more than $100 million. Meanwhile, Gray has emerged as a tech startup superhero now tackling the crisis of student debt with innovative, unrivaled strategies. Gray's story is proof that when you create opportunities for others, you enrich the marketplace for yourself too. He shows us, we can carve out new paths to better days and leave trails for others.

Los Diarios del Ácido
Una exploración sobre las verdades personales y espirituales reveladas mediante el LSD • Indica que las visiones inducidas por el LSD tejen una trama continua de un viaje a otro • Muestra que los viajes o trances psicodélicos pasan por tres etapas: los temas personales y la conciencia prenatal, la pérdida del ego y, por último, lo sagrado • Explora el consumo de sustancias psicodélicas a lo largo de la historia, incluidas las alucinaciones masivas comunes en la Edad Media y los primeros usos terapéuticos del LSD Christopher Gray, cuando tenía casi sesenta años, por primera vez en mucho tiempo probó a tomar una dosis de 100 microgramos de LSD. Los efectos fueron tan extraordinarios y sorprendentemente agradables, que comenzó a consumir la misma dosis de igual manera cada dos o tres semanas. En Los diarios del ácido, Christopher Gray describe en detalle su experimento con el LSD durante un período de tres años y comparte la sorprendente conclusión de que sus visiones iban entretejiendo una historia coherente de una experiencia a otra, y le revelaban una trama subyacente de verdades personales y espirituales. Basándose en las teorías de Stanislav Grof y con citas de otras experiencias parecidas a la suya (como las de Aldous Huxley, Albert Hofmann y Gordon Wasson), muestra que los viajes pasan por tres etapas: la primera tiene que ver con asuntos personales y la conciencia prenatal; la segunda con la pérdida del ego, a menudo con matices sobrenaturales; y la tercera con temas sagrados, espirituales y apocalípticos. Al cotejar sus experiencias con el estudio de la utilización de sustancias psicodélicas a lo largo de la historia, incluidas las alucinaciones masivas producidas por el cornezuelo, comunes en la Edad Media, y las primeras veces que el LSD se utilizó con fines terapéuticos, Gray ofrece a los lectores una mayor comprensión y apreciación del valor potencial del LSD, no solo con fines de crecimiento transpersonal, sino de desarrollo espiritual.
