:?: Need help finding out the name & author of a book....

Hi!

My mom mentioned a book from the 60s she lent someone, and that someone never gave it back... Don't we all experience that? She said something about a trip to Tibet/Himalayas, maybe an autobiography or diary of some sort... Meditative... Someone who was a drug addict and wanted to be cured... I'm not sure!

I don't want to ask her because her birthday is coming up and she might (with reason) suspect my intention to get it for her.

I'd be very grateful for any help!

Thanks a lot, Emoke
