Product details

"How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence" by Michael Pollan explores the history, science, and therapeutic potential of psychedelic substances such as LSD, psilocybin (magic mushrooms), and 5-MeO-DMT. Pollan combines detailed research with immersive personal experiences under professional guidance to show how psychedelics can profoundly alter consciousness and promote healing.

The book traces psychedelics' early enthusiasm and research in the 1950s-60s, followed by backlash and prohibition, and then the recent scientific renaissance studying their effects on mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and addiction. Key insights show psychedelics can "dissolve the ego," helping users break free from entrenched harmful thought patterns and experience mystical or transcendental states. These experiences often lead to lasting positive changes in outlook, behavior, and emotional wellbeing.

Key Features

Pollan explains how psychedelics affect brain function, particularly by quieting the default mode network linked to self-focused thinking and ego maintenance. This neurological effect parallels the quieting of the ego seen in meditation. The book highlights impressive clinical results such as reduced fear of death in terminally ill patients and higher success rates in quitting smoking compared to traditional therapies.
