“Pollan keeps you turning the pages . . . cleareyed and assured.” —New York Times A #1 New York Times Bestseller, New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018, and New York Times Notable Book A brilliant and brave investigation into the medical and scientific revolution taking place around psychedelic drugs--and the spellbinding story of his own life-changing psychedelic experiences When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third. Thus began a singular adventure into various altered states of consciousness, along with a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan sifts the historical record to separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s, when a handful of psychedelic evangelists inadvertently catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research. A unique and elegant blend of science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine, How to Change Your Mind is a triumph of participatory journalism. By turns dazzling and edifying, it is the gripping account of a journey to an exciting and unexpected new frontier in our understanding of the mind, the self, and our place in the world. The true subject of Pollan's "mental travelogue" is not just psychedelic drugs but also the eternal puzzle of human consciousness and how, in a world that offers us both suffering and joy, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives.

Anyone curious about altered states of consciousness will find this book an invaluable read. DISCLAIMER: This book is intended as a companion to, not a replacement for, How to Change Your Mind.

Summary of How to Change Your Mind - What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence - A Comprehensive Summary A Renaissance takes us back to the beginning of psychedelics and into the lab of Albert Hofmann and his work with a plant called ergot. Hofmann’s work and Hofmann himself became the “spiritual” as well as the scientific leader of the testing of psychedelics. Neuroscience, psychiatry, pharmacology, and consciousness studies as well as the arts all listened to Hofmann, and explored the impact on the understanding of the consciousness and treating mental disorders. The symposium on psychedelics in 2006 opened a resurgence of research projects with the intent of studying the effects of psychedelics on humans. It was hoped that the long hiatus on psychedelic research was coming to an end. Just five weeks later in 2006 there was a Supreme Court decision by then new Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. who ruled that religious sects could import the drink Ayahuasca to the United States. Ayahuasca contained a schedule 1 substance called DMT, but the ruling was based on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993. This act was specifically developed for Native Americans and their use of peyote in their ceremonies. The Court’s actions opened a religious path to the legal recognition of psychedelic drugs.
