Flashbacks: A Personal and Cultural History of an Era is Timothy Leary's autobiography, published in 1983.

A double cassette album which contains Leary reading selections of Flashbacks was published under the same name in 1989 by Dove Books on Tape, Inc. Flashbacks was published by Jeremy P. Tarcher, Inc., Los Angeles, on May 1, 1983 (hardcover, ISBN 0-87477-177-3).

The celebrity doctor Andrew Weil described the book as having, '...solid information about the psychedelic revolution of the Sixties'[1] while the psychiatrist Rick Strassman said he used the book, '...to avoid repeating Leary's mistakes in his own research'.

[2] “I hid from the press," Strassman said, "kept religion and spirituality out of my writings while I was doing research, avoided studying undergraduates, studied no more than one student per department if I did use students as volunteers… and made certain my data were more important than anything else”.

[3] John Higgs suggests that Flashbacks contains, '...embellishments, point scoring and omissions'.
