Changing Our Minds by Don Lattin

Changing Our Minds by Don Lattin

CHANGING OUR MINDS tells the inspiring and very human stories of pioneering neuroscientists, psychotherapists, shamans and ordinary people seeking to live more aware and compassionate lives by combining the miracles of modern chemistry, therapeutic techniques and the wise use of ancient plant medicines. As a new era of research and university curricula addressing psychedelic-assisted therapy is now underway. LSD micro-dosing is becoming the new get-ahead strategy in Silicon Valley. Use of the Amazon's shamanic brew ayahuasca is taking the form of an international movement. Use of increasingly legal cannabis to cure Alzheimers, PTSD - and cancer! - is becoming commonplace. All of these add up to a transformational movement that advocates the use of properly administered mind-altering substances to promote mental health and spiritual growth. CHANGING OUR MINDS is the essential primer for understanding and navigating this new territory.

“An essential read for those interested in the expanding field of psychedelic research for therapeutic and spiritual uses, this volume lands at a crucial time during the reemergence of psychedelic research as we approach the mainstream, scientific acceptance of psychedelic psychotherapy and the reintegration of the legal use of psychedelics into Western culture” –Rick Doblin, PhD, founder of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies

“Accurate, comprehensive, and powerful: if you want to understand the responsible use of psychedelics and feel its pulse, this book is for you.” –William A. Richards, author of Sacred Knowledge: Psychedelics and Religious Experience

“Don Lattin has done compassionate service by bringing together the current work on the profound potential of psychedelics to treat addiction, fear of death, and physical and mental struggles.” –Mirabai Bush, senior fellow, Center for Contemplative Mind in Society

Author of five books and a freelance journalist, Lattin's work has appeared in dozens of U.S. magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and the San Francisco Chronicle, where Don covered the religion beat for nearly two decades. He has, also, worked as a consultant and commentator for NBC and on CNN. Previous books include the NYTimes bestseller, The Harvard Psychedelic Club and Distilled Spirits.
