How to Change Your Mind

Interesting exploration of the field of psychedelics and their potential for medicinal use. I felt like it was pretty fair and did not overly glorify the potential of these potent natural drugs. At the same time, he didn't overly emphasize their dangers, which is important as in the past most discussion of the topic has hailed it as a super-drug that we all need OR has completely demonized it. There is extensive discussion of the origins of psychedelic study and how it has been handled in the past.

If you've read other Michael Pollan books, you know he takes a very even approach to the topics he covers and does an excellent job of making the discussion interesting while being careful not to distort the science or reality behind the topic.
