Matt tells a personal, relatable story and shares a childhood tragedy that had a profound impact on him and explains how psychedelics have helped him heal. Matt sounds like a lot of men in the corporate world. Make a lot of money, indulge in self intoxication and hook up with a lot of women without having to deal with intimacy.
Matt recognized that all the data suggests that psychedelics have beneficial healing power for depression, trauma and ptsd. If taken with the right intention, psilocybin, one of the key ingredients in psychedelics can bring higher conscious vibrational thoughts – love, peace, truth, gratitude, and honesty centered around our true nature.
Worth the Fight addresses how more people struggle with shame and guilt from dogma than anything else. Matt offers hope. What if there is a door in your brain that can lead to a higher level of consciousness that lessens depression and brings out unfixed views, intellectual curiosity, less anxiety, and more empathy? Matt makes his case how psychedelics has motivated him to live a more meaningful life.
Some of my favorite points that Matt makes.
Gratitude is a foundational tenant of mindfulness. Fear and gratitude can’t occupy the same space, and when we are grateful something special is happening in our brain.
Success is the attainment of your definite chief aim without violating the rights of other people.
Would you work your entire lifetime and do the right thing even if you knew that you may never get credit for your work?

Matt Simpson’s journey is truly inspiring. In a world riddled with trauma and the avoidance of difficult conversations, Matt tackles his problems head on. He does the hard thing and moves through it gracefully. Most of us fear exposing ourselves for not wanting to be abandoned by the herd of society. Matt stands triumphantly on the other side, owning his darkness and his quest for healing is beautiful.
The beginning reads a bit like a Dear Abby column where you’re sucked into the juicy details of peering behind the curtain of someone’s life. A journey to find true love for oneself and in another, raw and pure. The book lays out healing tools available to all and I continue to support Matt in his journey. He wants what we all want—to be loved for who we truly are. Raw and exposed. To not be chained by the victimization of our past. To break free and choose our own destiny. To take our healing into our own hands. Highly recommended to anyone exploring their healing journey, psychedelics, or spirituality.

I am truly happy I discovered Worth The Fight! It is a fascinating book that details the journey of the author Matthew Simpson recapturing the essence of his life. Simpson discusses the perils associated with trauma and his incredibly brave approach of tapping into his spirituality via plant medicines. A wonderfully written book about courage, triumph, and fully accessing the human spirit. Simpson is a superhero, for his bravery, determination, endurance, fearlessness, and adventurous spirit are on full display throughout the book. This page turner is absolutely Worth The (Read) Fight!

What an inspirational journey to freedom
Sometimes you don’t realize the things that people go through or the path to healing. This books shares a not so common path but a true one. Thank you.
