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

Through his several books on the growth, preparation and consumption of food, Michael Pollan has shown us the way toward food enlightenment. Now with his 8th book, “How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence,” he is leading us on another enlightened journey, one that holds the promise of peace of mind for millions suffering from serious mental disorders such as PTSD.

As with many of his earlier works, “How to Change Your Mind” is a New York Times best seller. Pollan’s books related to food include “Food Rules,” “In Defense of Food,” “The Omnivore’s Dilemma,” and “Cooked” which shares the same name as his 2016 Netflix series. He writes for The New York Times Magazine as well as other publications.

Pollan teaches journalism at the University of California-Berkeley. In 2010 he was included in Time magazine’s One Hundred Most Influential People in the World.
