Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
How to Change Your Mind is a report from what could very well be the future of human consciousness, written and read by Michael Pollan.
When LSD was first discovered in the 1940s, it seemed to researchers, scientists and doctors as if the world might be on the cusp of psychological revolution. It promised to shed light on the deep mysteries of consciousness, as well as offer relief to addicts and the mentally ill. But in the 1960s, with the vicious backlash against the counter-culture, all further research was banned. In recent years, however, work has quietly begun again on the amazing potential of LSD, psilocybin and DMT. Could these drugs in fact improve the lives of many people? Diving deep into this extraordinary world and putting himself forward as a guinea-pig, Michael Pollan has written and read a remarkable history of psychedelics and a compelling portrait of the new generation of scientists fascinated by the implications of these drugs.
'His approach is steeped in honesty and self-awareness. His cause is just, his thinking is clear, and his writing is compelling' - Washington Post
'An easy-going humane generosity ... mischievous self-regard ... as if Henry David Thoreau had had an encounter with Woody Allen and never been quite the same since' - Simon Schama

Psychedelics not just Demystified - but glorified
Psychedelics not just Demystified - but glorified
A very well research and equally well written book about a very controversial issue - psychedelics.
Pollan has not just tried to demystify them but has convincingly made them out to be a must try for all seek spiritual growth.
And thus starts a forbidden journey for seekers like me…

Excellent!
The author covers every single dimension of a select few psychedelics, not leaving a single stone unturned in his attempt to have the audience to take a drive down the history, the progress, the setbacks and the promise of these much maligned chemicals. I particularly like his gonzo style of exposition, restrained by his own highly developed sense of skepticism.

Interesting story and very informative
Finished pretty easily. Interested in looking at more research books by the author now. The science of psychadelics is discussed, but isn't too difficult to follow. Easy recommendation if the subject matter interests you.
