Authored by Michael Pollan, this book explores the history, science, and cultural impact of psychedelic substances. Pollan investigates the therapeutic potential of psychedelics for mental health conditions like depression and addiction, and their capacity to induce profound spiritual experiences.
And we had Michael Pollen on my show and when he said he he told me he said Dave the one thing that's really important when you take psilocybin is you have to feel supremely safe because when that moment of self-dissolution comes or ego death comes it can be beautiful or it can be terrifying and if you don't feel safe it can go the wrong way.
""Michael Pollan is mentioned by Andrew Huberman in the context of discussing psychedelics and the importance of feeling safe during a psychedelic experience, a key theme in Pollan's work on the subject."
