## Description

THE NO. 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, NOW A MAJOR NEW NETFLIX SERIES 'Reminds us that the mind is the greatest mystery in the universe' Yuval Noah Harari, Guardian, Books of the Year Could psychedelic drugs change our worldview? Join Michael Pollan on a journey to the frontiers of the human mind. Diving deep into an extraordinary world - from shamans and magic mushroom hunts to the pioneering labs mapping our brains - and putting himself forward as a guinea-pig, Michael Pollan has written a remarkable history of psychedelics and a compelling portrait of the new generation of scientists fascinated by the implications of these drugs. How to Change Your Mind is a report from what could very well be the future of consciousness. ' A sweeping and often thrilling chronicle of the history of psychedelics, all interwoven with Pollan's adventures as a psychedelic novice. This is a serious work of history and science, but also one in which the author, under the influence of toad venom, becomes convinced he's giving birth to himself' Oliver Burkeman, Guardian 'A mind-altering book ... full of transformations' Richard Godwin, Evening Standard 'An irresistible blend of history, research and personal experience. In terms of the psychedelic wave, the book is the big kahuna, the Big Bang moment for a movement that is gathering force' John McKenna, Irish Times 'Entertaining and engrossing' Paul Laity, Financial Times 'Deeply absorbing, wise and beautifully written' Mick Brown, Literary Review 'An astounding book' Andrew Sullivan, New York Magazine

Review: Do change your mind! - Not sure if it was the author's intention, but there seems to be a hidden message in the title. The book does not only explore how psychedelics can change our minds, but perhaps more importantly it strives to change the minds of the wider audience on psychedelics. And it does it beautifully. Extremely well written and researched, the facts about the history of the subject and the studies meet personal experiences and contemplations. With fresh parallels and thought provoking questions the book offers the reader a great understanding of not just "how", but "why". This should be on a recommended reading list of anyone who is at the beginning of the journey. And if you had some experience, but can't quite make sense of it, the book will certainly help with that. The Audible narration is perfect as well.
Review: very interesting - This book looks at the current situation regarding research into the use of psychedelics for the treatment of mental distress. A very interesting history looks at the 1950's and the success at that time through to the withdrawal of research grants following the counterculture. New research is now being undertaken. The book looks at the neuroscience-i.e. what these drugs do to the brain and the Author tries three different kinds of psychedelics as part of his research for the book. All of this is extremely well written. The title of the book relates to the idea of a de frag whereby the brains of some people could benefit from the insights and opening of their minds following an experience with psychedelics. This is an entertaining but serious book that builds a case for the sensible reappraisal of these substances and their benefits when used appropriately although a case is also made for access by people who are not suffering from mental distress. I genuinely couldn't put this book down and it is extraordinarily interesting. Don't be put off by any question of readability-it has enough depth whilst being very approachable for the reasonably well educated. One of the best books of non fiction I have ever read. Could not give it a higher recommendation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book, which will make you think.
*by O***E on 28 February 2019*

The book is definitely thought provoking. For someone (like myself) who never read about, not to mention use any psychedelics before it will likely change your mind about the subject. The part about history of LSD is fascinating. If you liked it and want to know more, particularly about how and why psychedelics got banned in USA and the rest of the world I strongly recommend to read "Storming Heaven: LSD and the American Dream" which will give you fuller account of the events. Clearly, for the author trying psychedelics was not exactly life-changing but memorable experience. The tone of the book is generally positive but not exactly endorsing, particularly when it comes to 'recreational use' of LSD. From my part, after reading this book and "Storming Heaven" I came to personal conclusion that very limited (and I mean very limited) use of LSD in therapeutic settings has a potential for somebody to get to piece with himself and the world. Using it for people with depression and/or terminal disease seems quite justifiable. However LSD experience and particularly frequent usage is very unlikely to lead to any 'objective' achievements. That is your are unlikely to become smarter or to gain any special psychological or creative powers. The story of O'Leary demonstrates it quite clearly. Anyway, these are just my thoughts. If you are curious -- read this book, it is likely to change you mind about some aspects of the world.
