SUMMARY:MICHAEL POLLAN presents HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND: ​What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us ​About Consciousness\, Dying\, Addiction\, Depression\, ​and Transcendence
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, June 4\, 2018\, 7pm\nFirst Congregational Church of Berkeley\, 2345 Channing Way\, Berkeley\nTickets available now! \n​When Michael Pollan set out to research how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in magic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from difficult-to-treat conditions such as depression\, addiction and anxiety\, he did not intend to write what is undoubtedly his most personal book. 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 the experience of 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 catalyzed a powerful backlash against what was then a promising field of research. \nA unique and elegant blend of science\, memoir\, travel writing\, history\, and medicine\, How to Change Your Mind 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 struggle and beauty\, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives. \n–​\nMichael Pollan is the author of seven previous books\, including Cooked\, Food Rules\, In Defense of Food\, The Omnivore’s Dilemma and The Botany of Desire\, all of which were New York Times bestsellers. A longtime contributor to the New York Times Magazine\, he also teaches writing at Harvard and the University of California\, Berkeley. In 2010\, TIME magazine named him one of the one hundred most influential people in the world. \nPlease note: \nEach ticket includes one copy of How to Change Your Mind. Signing and additional details coming soon. \nThis event is all ages. Accessibility is important to us! If you have special needs of any kind\, please write events AT booksmith DOT com and we will do our best to accommodate you.
