>From Amazon:<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
<br>
"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." – The Boston Globe</p>
