Ken Kesey made it big time with his most famous book One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. His inspiration for the book came from a vision of an Indian sweeping the floor of a psychiatric hospital. You may be wondering why in the world he would have a vision of such a thing, well; he was paid to take mind altering drugs as part of an experiment. Before he had decided to be apart of the experiment, Kesey was a successful man studying at the University of Oregon, from there is when he dropped out of school and pursued the life of a hippy. But, this didn’t stop him from accomplishing great things.
