****This book is a great sit-down read, as well as a concise version of the "How to Change Your Mind" by Micheal Pollan. Edited and brought together by short & Concise****
This book summarizes the brilliant and brave research by Michael Pollan, the author of the five best-selling New York Times, in a medical and scientific revolution that takes place around the psychedelic and the fascinating history of his own psychedelic experiences that has changed his life
In a well-researched, engaging and informative exploration of psychedelics, Pollan delves into spiritual, clinical, economical and societal aspects of the use of psychedelics. Interweaving his own experiences with well-cited research, he provides an excellent narrative of the evolution of the research in this field, the accompanying philosophical schools of thoughts, and a down-to-earth appraisal of some of the elements via personal experience. This makes for not only an informative read, but also paints a realistic picture of the risks and benefits involved in wider acceptance or use of psychedelics for treatment and/or recreational/spiritual reasons.
