    About this ebook

    How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan | Conversation Starters


    New York Times bestselling author Michael Pollan writes a brilliant book about his own life-changing psychedelic experiences. How to Change Your Mind: What The New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression and Transcendence is an instant #1 New York Times bestseller. Pollan bravely investigated the medical and scientific revolution around psychedelic drugs.
    Boston Globe praises Pollan’s engaging and informative book that will enlighten those who think of “psychedelics chiefly as a kind of punchline to a joke.” New York Times called How To Change Your Mind a page-turner that is “cleareyed and assured.” NY Post describes Pollan’s newest bestseller “a deep dive into the history of psychedelics.” Pittsburgh Post Gazette praises Michael Pollan for exploring and making a compelling case regarding “the potential value of psychedelic experiences.” For Kirkus, Pollan’s How To Change Your Mind is “eye-opening and even mind-blowing.”
