About this listen
Discover a world of outrageous experiments with the Sunday Times top ten bestseller, Elephants on Acid. Guided by Alex Boese's engaging storytelling, unearth answers to questions that have tickled your curious mind – from the unusual to the hilariously absurd.
'Excellent accounts of some of the most important and interesting experiments in biology and psychology' – Simon Singh, author of The Code Book
A riveting look at historical experiments that challenge conventional thinking:
If left to their own devices, would babies instinctively choose a well-balanced diet?
- Discover the secret of how to sleep on planes
- Which really tastes better in a blind tasting - Coke or Pepsi?
- Would your dog run to fetch help if you fell down a disused mineshaft?
- What would happen if you gave an elephant the largest ever single dose of LSD?
Elephants on Acid humorously delves into these and more, delivering a unique blend of popular psychology and historical science – a fascinating insight into the bizarre world of scientific experiments.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Rereading material
I love this book, yes it has parts where you just have to skip due to the experiment. But this is the 4th time I either listen to it or read. Well deserving a 5 star for those who love the science and how weird it is

A fascinating and easy read
I’m a Psychology teacher and this is perfect for my students and anyone else who may be interested. The studies are condensed but still informative, with recognition of their limitations where applicable. I listened to this in a matter of days as I was hooked!
