The New Science of Psychedelics
Could psychedelic drugs change our worldview? Have they been a catalyst for religion itself? Michael Pollan, one of America's most revered writers takes us on a mind-altering journey to the frontiers of human consciousness. When LSD was first discovered in the 1940s, it seemed to researchers, scientists and doctors as if the world might be on the cusp of psychological revolution. It promised to shed light on the deep mysteries of consciousness, as well as offer relief to addicts and the mentally ill. But in the 1960s, with the vicious backlash against the counter-culture, all further research was banned. In recent years, however, work has quietly begun again on the amazing potential of LSD, psilocybin and DMT. Could these drugs in fact improve the lives of many people? How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan will be available in hardback and audiobook on May 17th 2018 Pre-order now [http://ift.tt/2HOYOtK] Director: Ed Fenwick
