★ Goodread’s Choice Awards – Science & Technology

Focused on what the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence, How to Change Your Mind brings Michael Pollan's biographical portrait to a complex and consequential subject. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of biography & autobiography and body, mind, & spirit. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
