How to Change Your Mind What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan | Book Summary | OneHour ReadsÂ
In the book How to Change Your Mind, Michael Pollan traces the eventful history of psychedelics, from Hofmann's first encounter with LSD to the first surge of research into the field to the widespread abuse and misuse followed by a federal government ban and the recent resurrection of psychedelic research. Psychedelics are probably the world's most controversial class of drugs, and in this book, he narrates how they got their reputation.
Pollan is careful to correct the popular conclusion that Timothy Leary was the beginning and end of psychedelics. The author's depth of research is obvious, as he chronicles the lives and contributions of scientists, therapists, religious leaders, and countless others who have a place in the psychedelics story.
This book contains a comprehensive, well-detailed summary and key takeaways of the original book by Michael Pollan. It summarizes the book in detail to help people effectively understand, articulate, and imbibe the original work by Pollan. This book is not meant to replace the original book but to serve as a companion to it.

- I thought I'd try this shortcut for Pollan's book.
I think the $5 would have been better spent buying the real book.
This synopsis looks like a rush job, typo's, grammar errors, and generally poor writing.
Take a skeptical look at the positive reviews. Many have nearly identical wording and again, poorly written.
I suspect they were auto-generated. or submitted by the same people under multiple names.
Pollan's book is quoted at times,
but the Summary does not clearly indicate (no quotation signs) which is material directly from the book,
and which is being paraphrased by the Summary. - This was my first (and last) "One Hour Summary" purchase. A 5th grade student could have written a more informative synopsis - without the annoying grammatical errors and the unclarity of whether it is quoting from the actual writer, or rather this summary author's first-person interjection. I liked the idea of a summary of book as I often get these types of mind-spirituality-medicine books and never read the whole thing, but I assumed it would be summarized by the publisher of the real book - or at least someone with graduate level education about the subject matter.
For example, in Chapter 3 Pollan (the real author) describes how in the 1940s and '50s, therapists and doctors were looking into how pyschedelics helped with alcoholism and addictions The summary says, "Bill Wilson was the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, and in the mid-1950s, he was interested in LSD. He wasn't so perplexed by the idea because a similar experience had helped him overcome his own addiction in 1934. He would later take part in sever (sic) LSD sessions".
Though I haven't read the actual author's description of this, I have heard him talk about this in interviews, and he doesn't use words like "he wasn't so perplexed by the idea..." The whole summary is written like this, in a manner that sounds unsophisticated, even uninformed. And, yes, it is full of grammatical errors like "sever" instead of "several" that makes me wonder if an editor or simple computer spell check even looked it over. I'm surprised any one who read it can objectively give it more than 1 or 2 stars. - Loved this book and his style of writing and the author beautifully and articulately breaks down the incredibly comprehensive history, along with the objective functions on the brain, coupled with the subjective interpretations and experiences of many therapy participants and not only does he provide this detailed information and this book is so perfectly timed, not to mention culturally long overdue and these substances evoke powerful lasting experiences among subjects that is impossible to ignore but somehow we have done so for half a decade and i believe this book will open some minds up as we proceed to remove the stigma and misconceptions of these important therapeutic options that have been wrongly removed from access to the common men and women who need them and anyone with an open mind will enjoy this book both as entertainment and as education and the overarching theme of this book is that being positive is a choice, and that’s easily enough to understand and along the way, though, the author makes it clear that it’s the small things (like eating right, and distancing one’s self from excessive negativity) that will do the most good and the author did a great job in giving a detailed explanation on the fundamentals of self-mind control and to practical activities you can do to enhance and improve your positive outlook in life.
- Without a doubt, this is the best book on the subject I've ever read. It isn't as easy to read as a mass-market mystery or whatever, there were times I had to look up words to understand fully, but overall the clearness of his writing and his insistence on grounded truth make the world of psychedelics much clearer than most.
- I leaned so many effective things from this book. I was actually amazed by seeing how many important suggestions gathered in such a short book. Author did an excellent job. I'll surely recommend this book to my friends and family. Happy reading!!good plans to become a chef , this book is recommended .
- I have tried to read the main book couple of times but never got the chance to end the book but the way pollan explained the psychedelic drugs are being used to explain the human states of consciousness. The summary is a nice book to read and understand the basic idea of the book and it's well enough to get intrigued to read the main book.
- An informative summary of Michael Pollan about the history of psychedelics. Convenient keys to each chapter. Explanations in the form of an interview. The topic is well disclosed. Thanks to this summary, I got the idea of the original book.
- Hoping for a paperback printing of the original Pollan book, I completely missed that this was a "summary". What is the point of getting a book like this? It's Michael Pollan. Buy the original!
