How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence
Reportage & memoirThe clinical eraClinical & therapeutic
What it is
Journalist Michael Pollan surveys the modern revival of psychedelic science, blending reporting on researchers and clinical trials with his own first-person accounts of psilocybin and other substances. The book popularized this research for a general audience and frames psychedelics in the context of consciousness, addiction, depression, and end-of-life distress. PMG includes it as accessible context and a narrative entry point; it is journalism reporting on studies, not a primary clinical source.
