À propos de cet audio
“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.
©2018 Michael Pollan (P)2018 Penguin AudioCe 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

I will be listening to this again, especially the last 2 chapters. Lots of info and insight to digest. Would be shame not to visit this piece again!

Excellent. Comprehensive.
That was a fantastic listen! It's truly sad that this information isn't more well-known, and that the smear campaign against psychedelics has been so complete. So many people caught up in the "psychedelics=drugs=bad" way of thinking could use these chemicals to improve their lives. Mind-expanding material.

Renaissance in progress
Michael Pollan thoroughly explores the new frontiers in the culture and science of psychedelic drugs, even digging up how our historical narrative of them has been obscured by sensationalist biases

A great listen. I learned a lot.
As with his previous books, Michael Pollan delves deep into his subject matter. In this book, he outdoes himself by "journeying underground" to partake and describe his experiences with psychedelics. This is an extremely well researched book that will be of interest to laymen and professionals alike. Very well done!

Loved all the story lines in between the research
I really enjoyed this book taking on a journey from the beginning of the psychedelic movement to the journey the future will bring. It's made me re-think about my own journeys, The future of medicine is already here.

I can't stop talking about this book
I can't stop talking about this book, specifically the audiobook version. Michael Pollan is a gifted storyteller and orator. He offers a grounded, contemporary, reflexive exploration of the psychedelic resurgence happening in science and popular culture. His use of narrative to wind data and biographies together makes for compelling listening. I will revisit this many times over. It's is such a treat. I highly recommend this for the generally curious to the advanced psychonaut.

Mind: Blown.
For anyone curious about the history of psychedelics, the possibilities for their use in therapy, or the way we are coming to understand our minds, this book is a gem.

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.
