Review of 'How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
4.0 stars
I was skeptical. Really skeptical. But this book is lucid and illuminating and convincing. I read it in a great gallop and came away from it really excited about what humans will discover about psychedelics and what they'll help us discover about ourselves.
(Also, as a person with chronic depression, it's nice to know that someone's out there working on real solutions to the problem. I wouldn't be surprised if I benefit directly from this science in the future.)
