A fascinating history and compelling personal account of guided psychedelic therapy.
Pollan makes a strong case for the increasingly medically-recognized therapeutic benefits of these molecules while embracing power they reveal in one’s mind, a phenomenon that barely tolerates words. His modest effort to do so yields a personal, informative, and convincing story for people who are skeptical, curious, or even feeling in need of such an experience to better their lives.
