Michael Pollan: Exploring the Frontiers of Psychedelics
(Tim Ferriss, March 21, 2019) "An overactive ego is a tyrant." - Michael Pollan (@michaelpollan), the author of seven previous books, including Cooked, Food Rules, In Defense of Food, The Omnivore's Dilemma, and The Botany of Desire, all of which were New York Times bestsellers.
A longtime contributor to The New York Times Magazine, he also teaches writing at Harvard and the University of California at Berkeley where he is the John S. and James L. Knight professor of science journalism. In 2010, TIME magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
His new book is How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence.
Check out "Trip of Compassion," a compelling movie that documents one unusual approach to healing trauma that might astonish: an innovative treatment involving the psychoactive drug MDMA (commonly known as “ecstasy”). Seen firsthand, if therapy is well designed, true rebirth and transformation can happen in a matter of weeks.
