Insightful, convincing and sensible

Great book! very insightful, with sound and convincing arguments combined with a sensible view on the topic. The narration by the author makes it very personal and vivid. Very much worth listening to or reading this book for anyone interested in learning about psychedelics beyond recreational use.

Great introduction into an uncommon topic

Taught me a lot about a subject I was not at all familiar with, but which might become more relevant in the near future of medicine.

The most important nonfiction work of the last decade

The title says it all: listen to that book. Psychedelic science is a promising way forward into the future, in so many ways.

The human brain studies have a long way to go.

Loved it, some chapters sounded repetitive. A new insight into the most complex phenomena of mankind: consciousness.

Keep an open mind

Loved every aspect of it and the struggle of the author to accept the esoteric part just as it is. Instead he is trying to reason and find empirical research and provides examples of recent developments in the field of psychedelic psychotherapy. But this doesn't imply that the writing is boring rather it tries to mediate the fact of the profound effect or underlying magic of psychedelic on our minds.

Changing your mind has seldom been so interesting

I had rarely heard the word 'psychedelics' before encountering this audio book, recommended by Yuval Noah Harari in The Guardian Review. Michael Pollan has done a compelling research on a topic that has had little importance or interest in my life so far and a negative touch to it. This book reveals a great varieties in which to meet and undertand psychedelics, casting light on different ways of perceiving their impact on our society - both historically and with an attempt to look at their future, while also being a very personal encounter. I highy enjoyed listenig to the author reading his book and it sparked of some quite interesting discussions with myself so far.

This book is very eye opening and entertaining. I also really enjoyed how Michael Pollan himself read it out loud. Highly recommend this audio book.

Best information I have gotten hold of about psychedelics

This book speaks exactly about the things I experienced myself. Especially this never before experienced state of consciousness and the newly gained understanding of how we are all connected and that nature is our friend, our provider, and should be treated as such. There’s a reason why some call it Mother Naturem that I only started to understand after using psychedelics. This book made me grin and smile and laugh as I learned about all these experiences of M Pollan and the people he mentioned. I also found it extremely interesting to learn that some think that psychedelics should be used at least once by every healthy person, too, to understand what this world we live in really is for us and to get a slightly better idea about what the meaning and purpose of life are.
