How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan

4.0

This was great, part of the great tradition of the romantic scientists Pollan discusses. I loved the trip reports — they lended credibility to the narrative. I zoned out during some discussions in the middle — with information around how psychedelics affect the default mode network, or some of the politics around the trials and Timothy Leary and the moral panic that ensued, and I wish there was some contemporary discussions around decriminalization, etc etc. But overall this was enjoyable and made me excited to go out and run my own psilocybin projects and dissolve my ego!
