Histoire
Of all the things humans rely on plants for - sustenance, beauty, medicine, fragrance, flavor, fiber - surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate or calm, fiddle with or completely alter, the qualities of our mental experience. Take coffee and tea: People around the world rely on caffeine to sharpen their minds. But we do not usually think of caffeine as a drug, or our daily use as an addiction, because it is legal and socially acceptable.

"What should we have for dinner?" To one degree or another, this simple question assails any creature faced with a wide choice of things to eat. Anthropologists call it the omnivore's dilemma. Choosing from among the countless potential foods nature offers, humans have had to learn what is safe, and what isn't. Today, as America confronts what can only be described as a national eating disorder, the omnivore's dilemma has returned with an atavistic vengeance.

With this updated edition of his earlier book, A Place of My Own, listeners can revisit the inspired, intelligent, and often hilarious story of Pollan’s realization of a room of his own—a small, wooden hut, his “shelter for daydreams” — built with his admittedly unhandy hands. Inspired by both Thoreau and Mr. Blandings, A Place of My Own not only works to convey the history and meaning of all human building, it also marks the connections between our bodies, our minds, and the natural world.

We are in the midst of a powerful psychedelic renaissance. After four decades of hibernation, the promise of the psychoactive 60s - that deeper self-awareness, achieved through reality-bending substances and practices, will lead to greater external harmony - is again gaining a major following. The signs are everywhere, from the influence of today's preeminent psychedelic thinker Daniel Pinchbeck, to the renewed interest in the legacy of Terence McKenna, and to the upsurge of collective cultural phenomena like the spectacle of Burning Man.

In 1637, one Dutchman paid as much for a single tulip bulb as the going price of a town house in Amsterdam. Three and a half centuries later, Amsterdam is once again the mecca for people who care passionately about one particular plant—though this time the obsessions revolves around the intoxicating effects of marijuana rather than the visual beauty of the tulip. How could flowers, of all things, become such objects of desire that they can drive men to financial ruin?

In this groundbreaking book, Carl Johan Calleman reveals the quantum science of the Maya, a science lost to the modern world that explains the phenomenology of psychedelics and altered states of consciousness. The ancient Maya had a sophisticated understanding of the multidimensional nature of reality and the forces that drive the evolution of consciousness. Calleman explains how quantum waves, illustrated by the Mayan Calendar, emanate from the center of the universe and activate new phases in the evolution of consciousness through holographic resonance.

When we think of fungi, we likely think of mushrooms. But mushrooms are only fruiting bodies, analogous to apples on a tree. Most fungi live out of sight, yet make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that supports and sustains nearly all living systems. Fungi provide a key to understanding the planet on which we live, and the ways we think, feel, and behave.

Histoire
During extraordinary moments of consciousness - shock, meditative states and sudden mystical revelations, out-of-body experiences, or drug intoxication - our senses of time and self are altered; we may even feel time and self dissolving. These experiences have long been ignored by mainstream science. Recent research, however, has located the neural underpinnings of these altered states of mind. In this book, neuropsychologist Marc Wittmann reveals how experiences that disturb or widen our everyday understanding of the self can help solve the mystery of consciousness.

Description
“Pollan keeps you turning the pages . . . cleareyed and assured.”—New York Times
A #1 New York Times Bestseller, New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018, and New York Times Notable Book
A brilliant and brave investigation into the medical and scientific revolution taking place around psychedelic drugs—and the spellbinding story of his own life-changing psychedelic experiences
When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression, addiction and anxiety, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third. Thus began a singular adventure into various altered states of consciousness, along with a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan sifts the historical record to separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s, when a handful of psychedelic evangelists inadvertently catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research.
A unique and elegant blend of science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine, How to Change Your Mind is a triumph of participatory journalism. By turns dazzling and edifying, it is the gripping account of a journey to an exciting and unexpected new frontier in our understanding of the mind, the self, and our place in the world. The true subject of Pollan's "mental travelogue" is not just psychedelic drugs but also the eternal puzzle of human consciousness and how, in a world that offers us both suffering and joy, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Pollan’s deeply researched chronicle will enlighten those who think of psychedelics chiefly as a kind of punchline to a joke about the Woodstock generation and hearten the growing number who view them as a potential antidote to our often stubbornly narrow minds . . . engaging and informative.”—Boston Globe
“Pollan keeps you turning the pages . . . cleareyed and assured.”—New York Times
“Michael Pollan’s How to Change Your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics changed my mind, or at least some of the ideas held in my mind. . . . Whatever one may think of psychedelics, the book reminds us that the mind is the greatest mystery in the universe, that this mystery is always right here, and that we usually dedicate far too little time and energy to exploring it.”—Yuval Noah Harari, author of Sapiens and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

Educational, enlightening, and optimistic.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It really opened my mind to a new outlook and procedure of use toward a d regarding mushrooms and psychedelics.
I would reccomend this to anyone interested in medicine, science, experimental use of illicit drugs, anyone eith depression / anxiety / substance abuse, or just curious about the world and our relation to it.
I just wish Michael Pollan would pronounce Saskatchewan properly. Like he isn't doing it wrong just not the way local Canadians do.
Anyways I am eager to delve deeper into his works, the world of mushrooms (magic and culinary), and therapeutic sessions of said mushrooms potentially in the future barring changes in legislation... or not.

With an open mind, this could change your life!
I'd recently been embued with a term I'd never heard before. "#TranscendentalResonance"; is a means to connect to a vibratory field of existence that transcends the sensory inputs we live amongst. This book is enabling a means of attainment of such a thing, by helping to remove the stigmas associated with the psychedelic plants and medicines we are presently party to. Please treat these potentially life altering molecules with the reverance and respect they deserve, for it is my, shared, belief that some time, (hopefully in the near future), they will be the gateway to our new evolutionary standard.

An exploration into the ego filled with ego
Unfortunately, this book is repetitive if you begin at the first chapter your in the same place after all those hours of listening at the last chapter. It’s a small amount of science, mixed with a medium amount of navel gazing, combined with a large amount of cultural appropriation. The dismissive tone of this book toward Indigenous cultural use of psychedelics for over 10,000 years is followed by endless examples of appropriation by Western academics, “guides” and “centres” as they sit in drum circles, smudge, and seek that transcendent transformation from one dose of psychedelics. This book could have been so much more than an examination of Westerners endlessly talking about their trips, but that is where the author chose to go.

I’ve been reading and re-reading and re-listening to this on and off for months. It gave me the most tangible preparation, everything i needed to hear, on the day before my first significant psilocybin retreat. It’s the book i recommend to any and all who are curious about the topic, in a « if you’re going to read one book about it, read this one » kinda way. Total recommendation.

Mind-opening
At first I wasn't really sure what to expect, and the introduction was a bit slow, personal, and not too exciting. Yet, the book only got more intense with time and became packed with facts, stories, and most importantly historical and scientific background. All that in rather light and often funny context, mixed with author's personal life, which somehow is not disturbung at all, rather makes it more believable and legit.
It's clear that the author has done extensive research and I like how he tries to show all sides of the story most of the time. But it's how he became part of the environment that makes you trust him and support the ideas he clearly believes in.
I felt like I know a lot about drug history and research, but now I know I was very wrong. "How to change your mind" doesn't really offer many answers, but it definitely asks some very right questions and makes you want to study the topic.

Generally good
A generally well-built and told personal story that gives insight into the history of the research on psychedelics.
My main criticism relates to the insufficient contextualization and lack of rigor in the presentation of the explanations of psychedelic trips.
The audiobook is generally enjoyable, although the intonations feel somewhat weird at times

A delightful trip
I think the only thing that could make this book better would be a complementary drop of acid on the corner of the last page.

Enthralling and Informative
Michael Pollan is at is finest in How to Change Your Mind. The first third of the book covering the modern history of psychedelics I could take or leave, but the latter two thirds had me rapt and thinking, “what a time to be alive.” To call his closing thoughts moving would be a sorry understatement. 9/10 would read again

Excellent non-hippie journey through Psychedelics
So often books and videos about psychedelics are taken from a post use hippie new age perspective so it was really refreshing and more interesting to hear this man's journey from newbie to trying the major 4 psychoactive drugs available today. And especially given that he wasn't too quick to conclude or associate his experience with the supernatural or God but rather decided to look into what science says is going on related to the physicality, the default network, the Ego etc.

A thorough and insightful exploration.
Michael does a great job deep diving into an area that’s below the radar for many. There were points when it felt like he was a little too long-winded but then he’d turn the corner to a totally different fascinating aspect of the study or use of psychedelics. After finishing it, I look back and felt like he was incredibly thorough, insightful, and open- minded approaching the subject. The topic is not new to me but he still opened my eyes and mind to many new perspectives. Time well spent.

To fall in hell or soar Angelic...
"To fall in hell or soar Angelic
You'll need a pinch of psychedelic"
- Humphry Osmond
"There is so much authority that comes out of the primary mystical experience that it can be threatening to existing hierarchical structures."
- Roland Griffiths, quoted in Michael Pollan, How to Change Your Mind
I have family that struggle with addiction, depression, PTSD, and anxiety. The idead that one type of compound (psychedelics) could transform how we view and treat these various challenges to the human condition is VERY excititng. Pollan's book does a great job of juggling the memoirist experience with psychedelics (think of this partially as a 21st century version of Thomas De Quincey's Confessions of an English Opium Eater) with a narrative nonfiction exploration of the history and current science surrounding primarily LSD, Psilocybin, and 5-MeO-DMT (the Toad). Michael Pollan write well (he's not quite, for me, upto the level of John McPhee -- but he's close. He both annoys and seduces at the same time. He reminds me of a well-produced TED Talk. He is both interesting and compelling, but also a bit like a worn and comfortable shoe (say a Birkenstock) that represents a group I already feel comfortable both simultaneously walking with and yes kicking.
Most of Pollan's book focuses on LSD and Psilocybin (which makes sense because that is where most of the history and science are). I was familiar with Leary, Ginsburg, Huxley, and even James' takes on mind-altering drugs and states, but it was nice to see it framed by Pollan. I was also thrilled to be introduced to a bunch of characters I had never heard before. I feel a movie could/should be made about JUST Al Hubbard.
There is a huge part of me that finds the idea of psychedelic experience very compelling (I've got friends who are well-respected doctors, writers, and attorneys who feel the same way). However, my issue with most drugs (especially pot), is most people take them to GET close to where I feel I am already. I have a lot of awe, wonder, don’t get depressed, feel no guilt, exist with very low anxiety, etc (although I’m absolute sh!t at meditation). I think I do a pretty good job of hanging in the present (while being able to look both forward and back when needed). So, I'm not sure I would be seeking LSD or Psilocybin (or smoking the Toad) for any reason except curiosity and [gasp] recreation. That's the draw. The reason I am skeptical still, is I'm not sure I trust most of the product (clarification, after reading this I trust the product more than say the manufacturer, deliverer, source). I'm a bit suspect of taking candy OR street tacos from complete strangers, so smoking a Toad that I didn't catch and milk myself doesn't exactly seem like something I'm going to run off and do anytime soon. But, if the practice comes above ground, standardizes, or I'm dying -- all bets are off. Bring me the TOAD.

love, love, loved it
the best sane approach to a subject that has too often been all too wrapped up in non scientific language and thinking, all too ready to accept the most illogical and emotional thoughts and rationale. This book in contrast breaks through the genre with a down to earth approach and yet ready to accept the vision and experience that psychedelic therapy has to offer.

some excellent concepts, a bit too much repetition
this is not primarily a drug book, but more a psychological /physical discussion of the brain, the body and the various psychological states of which your mind is capable. it also has interesting historical summaries which explain why psychedelics, with Incredible potential and many positive lab results, were effectively deleted from the national consciousness during the late sixties for mostly political reasons. the only negative is that in its audiobook version, it gets repetitive. psychedelic seem to be affected for combating addiction, depression, anxiety and fear of death, so there is a section on each of these, but the reason that these all work is the same, hence, repetition. But the book is a worthwhile read for anyone who is interested in learning about altered Consciousness, whether through meditation, drumming, breathing or psychedelic use.

Michael Pollan again pushing the way we think. Open up to the idea that alternatives to common issues will reap results!

This book will turn more people on then Owsley.
In a word, Epic. YES! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! Can i get a witness?
Verily I'll testify to my brother's and sisters, let them know the good word, with the good books. Let all gathered know, This is the book that was needed 50 years ago, but still it's timely, better yet ahead of it's time. I've read all Mr. Pollan's book and they just get better and more helpful, he's a visionary.
This is what the world need, facts about transformative experiences and guidance on how to change our minds. Society is stuck, living as primitive as cave people, destroying the planet like termites vampires, bumming each other out constantly. People in developed areas are sick, mental, lost. All they have is sour cream television and corn syrup addictions, caught up in tribalism, when they could be working together globally, universally. I don't know a better catalyze then magic molecules to change the physical structure of our lazy and obese brain and it's sad more of the world hasn't turned on, dropped out and tuned in, because we are too stuck in our small communities and narrow minds.
This books is it, the holy grail, the sweet sugar cane synthesist of heaven and earth. If Aldous Huxley, Albert hoffman and Timothy Leary had a love Child, it would be Pollan, thinking big, talking bigger and walking the talk. So many talk, talk about big ideas, they make elaborate theories, but mostly at a distance, in the end being pretty conventional and groundless. Not Pollan, he followed his curiosity boldly down the rabbit hole, he pushed pass fear and doubt and emerged at the other side transformed. Sure he should of done it when his mind had more plasticity, but better late then ever. He does the psychonauts greatest hits, with mushrooms, Toad, Aya, getting the best guidance from the most experienced luminaries. What a guy. He thought about it deeply and sought it, because he compelled by all data, the 6 decades of soul liberating facts from folks experimenting, getting to know and shape their own minds, the fluidness of their feelings, the glow in everything.
I can't recommend this book enough, if only the last page was a sheet of acid, then it'd be the perfect book, otherwise This is the best book on self help/discovery around. Nothing will heal you're misperceptions and self deceptions better then psychedelics. Many conservatives in power have been afraid of it and everything else, and demonized it devilishly, but it was also a lie. It was all a lie, what those in power told us and most of us did not care to question it, to find out for ourselves, too afraid of cosmic consciousness and a humbling experience.
It's a trippy life, but not a trippy book. It's pretty straight forward and packed with everything one would ever need before they packed to go on a trip of a lifetimes. There's so many great metaphors, facts, antidotes and quotes, most new to me, which is pretty rare after reading so many books about it.
This is the only book on tripping one will ever need. Get it. Got it. Good God have mercy.
