Michael Pollan: How to Change Your Mind (2018) 4 stars

Review of 'How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

I skimmed some parts, as I have done enough drugs to not need any of Pollan’s convincing.

This is like good but not enthralling reportage with some erowid reports in the middle.

Still, I’m glad a middle of the road pop science book about psychedelics exists, and Michael Pollan does a better job than most with the task.
