About the Original Book:

Michael Pollan’s How to Change is Your Mind is a sober, in-depth exposition of the history and science of the classical psychedelics—LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline. With incredible detail, Pollan brings to life the events that led to the discovery of and mass consumption of LSD, the rise of the 1960s counterculture, and the eventual ban of psychedelic research. He traces the scientists at the forefront of psychedelic research today and relays current findings on the potential of psychedelics to cure addictions and depression, alleviate the fear of dying, and spur spiritual and creative breakthroughs. Anyone curious about altered states of consciousness will find this book an invaluable read.
