How to Change Your Mind

“You are what what you eat eats, too.”

This quote is from Michael Pollan’s book, In Defense of Food. Pollan is advocating for a return to whole, unprocessed foods. He argues that processed foods are full of chemicals and fillers that our bodies are not equipped to handle. When we eat processed foods, we are also ingesting these chemicals and fillers. Therefore, we are not just what we eat, but also what our food eats.

How to Change Your Mind is a book about psychedelics and their potential for mental health. The book is divided into three parts: the history of psychedelics, the science of psychedelics, and the personal stories of people who have used psychedelics.

The book covers a wide range of topics, from the early days of psychedelic research to the current renaissance in psychedelic science. The book also includes interviews with some of the world’s leading experts on psychedelics, including psychiatrists, psychologists, and neuroscientists.

The book is an engaging and accessible read that will appeal to anyone interested in psychedelics, mental health, and the power of personal transformation.

The characters in Michael Pollan’s books are often compared to those in other books about food and farming. For example, the character of Joe in The Omnivore’s Dilemma is often compared to the character of Temple Grandin in Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.

The book How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan is about the history and science of psychedelics. Pollan chronicles his own experience with psychedelics, as well as the stories of others who have used them for therapeutic purposes. He discusses the potential of psychedelics to treat mental illness, addiction, and trauma. He also explores the risks of psychedelics, and the need for responsible use.

Overall, I found this to be an interesting and informative book. Pollan does a good job of explaining the science behind psychedelics, and their potential benefits and risks. He also provides a personal account of his own experience with these substances. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about psychedelics.
