What is the author's style in Design for Dying by Timothy Leary?

Design for Dying is both Leary's memoir and a recollection of his personal experiences. It is also a treatise, a formal, systematic description of a subject. Leary reflects on his life and the lessons he has learned, and he outlines not only how he lived, but why he made the choices he did. By systematically laying out his thoughts on subjects such as drugs, language, technology, death, sex, and consciousness, Leary shows readers the principles that undergirded his life.
