In 1937, at the height of his fame Huxley left Europe to live in California, working for a time as screenwriter
in Hollywood. As the West braced itself for war, Huxley came increasingly to believe that the key to solving the
world’s problems lay in changing the individual through mystical enlightenment. The exploration of the inner
life through mysticism and hallucinogenic drugs was to dominate his work for the rest of his life. His beliefs
found expression in both fiction (Time Must Have A Stop, 1944 and Island, 1962) and non-fiction (The Perennial
Philosophy, 1945, Grey Eminence, 1941 and the famous account of his first mescalin experience,  The Doors of
Perception, 1954).

Huxley died in California on 22 November 1963.
