New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018 A New York Times Notable Book The #1 New York Times bestseller. A brilliant and brave investigation into the medical and scientific revolution taking place around psychedelic drugs--and the spellbinding story of his own life-changing psychedelic experiences 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 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. A 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 suffering and joy, we can do our best to be fully present and find meaning in our lives.

Once the acute effects wore off, Hofmann felt the "afterglow" that frequently follows a psychedelic experience, the exact opposite of a hangover. When he walked out into his garden after a spring rain, "everything glistened and sparkled in a fresh light. The world was as if newly created." (查看原文)
“We’re going to teach people to stop hating,” Ginsberg said, “start a peace and love movement.” You can almost hear in his words the 1960s being born, the still-damp, Day-Glo chick cracking out of its shell. When Leary managed to persuade Ginsberg not to leave the house (among other issues, it was December), the poet got on the phone and started dialing world leaders, trying to get Kennedy, Khrushchev, and Mao Zedong on the line to work out their differences. In the end, Ginsberg was only able to reach his friend Jack Kerouac, identifying himself as God (“that’s G-O-D”) and telling him he must take these magic mushrooms. (查看原文)
对我这种只对致幻剂的神经机理有兴趣的人,其实只看第五章也差不多了。致幻剂之所以能激发各种奇幻的旅程,很大程度上是因为它可以抑制掌控“自我意识”的神经网络的活性,尤其是default network,所以对致幻剂的研究也可以帮助人类研究自我意识的神经机理。此外致幻剂对治疗抑郁症、药物酒精成瘾和改善绝症病人的心理状态也很有用。这本书我最不喜欢的是开头一直在问“怎么知道这种美妙旅程不是drug effe...对我这种只对致幻剂的神经机理有兴趣的人,其实只看第五章也差不多了。致幻剂之所以能激发各种奇幻的旅程,很大程度上是因为它可以抑制掌控“自我意识”的神经网络的活性,尤其是default network,所以对致幻剂的研究也可以帮助人类研究自我意识的神经机理。此外致幻剂对治疗抑郁症、药物酒精成瘾和改善绝症病人的心理状态也很有用。这本书我最不喜欢的是开头一直在问“怎么知道这种美妙旅程不是drug effect,而是real的呢?”我翻着白眼想,drug effect怎么就不real了啊啊?其实看书的时候总会想到GRRM早期的小说A Song of Lya,不是我最喜欢的GRRM的书,但是那种意识超越了自我实现多体融合的状态,大概和致幻剂生效时候也差不多。当然我看完以后还是依然很想弄两支蘑菇来试试。。(展开)
The book starts with a quick chemistry/biology background of psychedelics, and quickly gets into the history of psychedelics research and public image through the second half of the 20th century. The author then provides detailed re-accounts of his own psyc...

最近看的最让我激动的一本书。从一个我之前一无所知的角度讲述了有关“自我”的故事。

内容和题材一样让人脑子里一直刮旋风。 非常厉害,诚恳,有野心,也拓宽世界观,但是,需要重新再看一遍才能都看明白,听书显然是不够的。
