Description

Can technology expand consciousness rather than dull it? Long before biohacking became a buzzword and mindfulness apps filled our phones, Would the Buddha Wear a Walkman? asked the radical question: can modern tools help awaken the mind?

Written at the height of the late-20th-century New Age movement, this thought-provoking guide explores hundreds of products, practices, and techniques—from lucid dreaming and meditation technologies to experimental psychotherapies—designed to enhance awareness, creativity, and inner growth. With curiosity rather than dogma, Hooper and Teresi document an era when science, spirituality, and self-exploration collided in fascinating ways.

Part cultural artifact, part consciousness manual, this book captures a pivotal moment when seekers looked not backward to ancient traditions alone, but forward—toward innovation—as a path to higher awareness.

A compelling addition for readers interested in New Age classics, mind-body exploration, and the history of consciousness studies.
