But upon discovering how these remarkable substances are improving the lives not only of the mentally ill but also of healthy people coming to grips with the challenges of everyday life, he decided to explore the landscape of the mind in the first person as well as the third. Thus began a singular adventure into various altered states of consciousness, along with a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. Pollan sifts the historical record to separate the truth about these mysterious drugs from the myths that have surrounded them since the 1960s, when a handful of psychedelic evangelists inadvertently catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA unique and elegant blend of science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine, \u003ci\u003eHow to Change Your Mind\u003c\/i\u003e is a triumph of participatory journalism. By turns dazzling and edifying, it is the gripping account of a journey to an exciting and unexpected new frontier in our understanding of the mind, the self, and our place in the world. The true subject of Pollan's \"mental travelogue\" is not just psychedelic drugs but also the eternal puzzle of human consciousness and how, in a world that offers us both suffering and joy, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Pollan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of eight books, including \u003ci\u003eHow to Change Your Mind\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCooked\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFood Rules\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIn Defense of Food\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Omnivore's Dilemma\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Botany of Desire\u003c\/i\u003e, all of which were \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers.
